AllDebooks I wouldn't consider him an activist. He was a philanthropist through his charitable causes. He did use his profile for social criticism and reportage on poverty, housing, education, etc. 3d

dabbe I think Dickens wrote HARD TIMES as a critique of the industrial revolution and the social and economic systems that were shaping England during that period. The novel was both a social commentary and a call for reform. Dickens wanted to challenge the prevailing attitudes of the time and advocate for a more compassionate, humane society—one that balanced industrial progress with a respect for individual dignity and emotional well-being. 3d
curiouserandcurioser Thank you💜 3d
Lcsmcat I absolutely believe he was an activist, and like the best ones, he wrapped his message inside good stories so people would read them. 2d
