A Tale of Two Cities : the Study Edition: A study guide of the Charles Dickens critical essay on the French Revolution (original text with … vocabulary, and more) (Agregation anglais)

A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same period. We publish the full 1859 text, with original illustrations of Fred Barnard, annotation-friendly notes sections and a background material (context, characters, themes…), to aid analysis.
