About this ebook:
The most famous opening sentence in English fiction. The most famous closing sentence in English fiction. And between them, the most concentrated, the most violent, and the most structurally daring novel Charles Dickens ever wrote. This Erato Press critical edition reads A Tale of Two Cities not as the melodrama its critics have called it, but as the tightly engineered work of revolutionary fiction it actually is.Published in 1859, serialized in Dickens's own journal All the Year Round, A Tale of Two Cities was written at the speed and emotional pressure of a man whose private life was collapsing. Dickens had just separated from his wife, had fallen obsessively in love with the young actress Ellen Ternan, and had recently performed the role of a man who sacrifices himself for the woman he loves in Wilkie Collins's play The Frozen Deep. The novel that emerged from this crisis is, by Dickens's own admission, the best thing he had ever done — a judgement his contemporaries shared and that modern critics have been too slow to confirm.The architecture is built on doubles. Two cities — London and Paris. Two men — Charles Darnay, the aristocrat who renounces his inheritance, and Sydney Carton, the brilliant wastrel who redeems a squandered life with a single act. Two women — Lucie Manette, the golden thread that holds everything together, and Madame Defarge, who sits knitting the names of the condemned into a register that is also a death sentence. The novel's method is every element has its opposite, every resurrection is shadowed by a death, every act of mercy is answered by an act of vengeance.Sydney Carton — the man who does nothing with his life until the moment he gives it away, whose final words are the most quoted sentence in Dickens Madame Defarge — the revolutionary who knits names into her register with the patience of fate itself, one of the most terrifying figures in English fiction Charles Darnay — the aristocrat who cannot escape the guilt of his class Dr. Manette — recalled to life from eighteen years in the Bastille, whose testimony destroys the man his daughter loves Lucie Manette — the golden thread, whose love holds the novel together✦ The complete, unabridged text of A Tale of Two Cities (1859)This edition also ✦ Recalled to Life — a critical essay in ten sections examining the Carlylean inheritance, the double architecture of Carton and Darnay, antithesis as structural method, the resurrection theme, Madame Defarge's knit register as political allegory, the novel's extraordinary afterlife, the biographical roots of Carton's sacrifice in Dickens's performance in The Frozen Deep, and a defence against the charge of melodrama ✦ Charles Dickens (1812–1870) — a full author biography in nine sections, from the Marshalsea debtors' prison and the blacking warehouse through the years of mastery, the collapse of the marriage, and the death at Gad's HillFor readers who ✦ Historical fiction and the French Revolution as moral catastrophe ✦ The great Victorian novel at its most intense and most compressed ✦ Dark romance and the literature of sacrifice ✦ Literary criticism that defends a masterpiece against its detractors"It is a far, far better thing — and Dickens, who had just destroyed his own marriage and fallen in love with a woman half his age, knew exactly what it cost to say so."

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. Quite impressive overall.

A decent, if standard, experience. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.

It was adequate. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.

Excellent, though slightly flawed. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.
