A Tale of Two Cities

By Charles Dickens.

Charles Dickens' twelfth novel was published in his new weekly journal, All the Year Round, without illustrations. Simultaneously with the weekly parts, the novel was also published in monthly parts with illustrations by Hablot Browne. An American edition was also published, in slightly later weekly parts (May to December 1859), in Harper's Weekly. Charles Dickens’s belief in renaissance is borne out in this epic novel—as cities are overthrown and transformed, and cynics become selfless heroes.
