Notes on A Tale of Two Cities


  • Goes over the production and Dickens perspective in correspondence with 'current events' that impacted his writing 
  •  There is a lot of reading by the Professor to the class quoting the book
  • After the starts to explain what some of the perspectives from Dickens's  peers of the age
  • Character development and allusions to other books/pieces written (by Dickens)

So the background of Charles Dickens is an explanation to the audience about the later 'journals' written and was hard because of blockages in his 'creative process'. Talks about his experiences in London/Paris and how his 'disturbing' experiences impacted his writing during that time. Many quotes from Dickens and not much of his personal analysis on the critical points of the characters of the story for a long period of time about A Tale of Two Cities... Really a lot of description about the time period and how that was recreated by the author in his story. There are many details of the quotes to the mass public in order to advertise to the peoples who live in these cities and his views on how successful Charles was in capturing the setting of these two cities.

Very detailed about how others adapted his book from plays to movies to television series and this man knows about this novel like nobodies business... This is crazy, much of it is almost like trivia that has be broken down to be created into a flow of ideas and progressive documentation of EVERYTHING about A Tale of Two Cities.... Just too much...
