Since its publication in 1859, "A Tale of Two Cities "has remained the best-known fictional recreation of the French Revolution, and one of Charles Dickens's most exciting novels."

Part of the "Routledge Guides to Literature" series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of "A Tale of Two Cities"and seeking not only a guide to the novel, but a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds Dickens's text.
