The Companion to 'A Tale of Two Cities' Paperback / softback
by Andrew Sanders
Part of the Dickens Companions series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
