<div>“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . .”
With these famous words, <b>Charles Dickens</b> plunges the reader
into one of history’s most explosive eras—the French Revolution.
From the storming of the Bastille to the relentless drop of the
guillotine, Dickens vividly captures the terror and upheaval of
that tumultuous period. At the center is the novel’s hero, Sydney
Carton, a lazy, alcoholic attorney who, inspired by a woman, makes
the supreme sacrifice on the bloodstained streets of Paris.<br />
<br />
one of Dickens’s most exciting novels, <i>A Tale of Two Cities</i>
is a stirring classic of love, revenge, and resurrection.<br />
<br />
<b>Gillen D’Arcy Wood</b> received his Ph.D in English from
Columbia University in 2000 and is currently an assistant professor
at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He is the author
of <i>The Shock of the Real: Romanticism and Visual Culture,
1760–1860</i>.<br /></div>
