"A Tale of Two Cities", published originally in 1859, remains one
of Charles Dickens's consistently popular works, admired as much
for its succinct plot as for its vivid setting in the French
Revolution. Dickens himself thought it the best story he had ever
written. This Companion, by concentrating on the factual, reveals
the great care Dickens took with the planning and preparation of
his story and its roots in the work of Thomas Carlyle, one of the
most influential thinkers of the Victorian age. It also explores
aspects of Dickens's life. The Companion identifies the multitude
of allusions to what Dickens often regarded as the whims of
eighteenth-century justice, religion, philosophy, fashion and
society. The Companion to "A Tale of Two Cities" provides the
modern reader with both fundamental sources of information and a
fascintating account of the creation of a complex historical novel.
It can be read alongside any edition of the novel.
