This book, first published in 1988, reveals the great care Dickens
took with the planning and preparation of A Tale of Two Cities and
its roots. It also explores the aspects of Dickens's life,
especially his interest in private theatricals, which contributed
to the genesis of the novel. For the first time the historical
sources for the very individual account of the French Revolution
presented in A Tale of Two Cities are examined, and the book
investigates the novelist's debt to French and English
eye-witnesses. This Companion identifies the multitude of allusions
to what Dickens often regarded as the whims of eighteenth-century
justice, religion, philosophy, fashion and society. It provides the
modern reader with both fundamental sources of information and a
fascinating account of the creation of a complex historical novel.
