If you’ll excuse me, as your very much elder, for saying so, I really don’t know that it is your business.’ ‘Business! Bless you, I have no business,’ said Mr. Carton. ‘It is a pity that you have not, sir.’ ‘I think so too.’ ‘If you had,’ pursued Mr. Lorry, ‘perhaps you would attend to it.’ ‘Lord love you, no!—I shouldn’t,’ said Mr. Carton. (A Tale of Two Cities 86) In 1855, Charles Dickens wrote to A. H. Layard comparing the festering state of contemporary England with pre-Revolutionary France: “I believe the discontent to be so much the worse for smouldering instead of blazing openly, that it is extremely like the general mind of France before the breaking out of the first Revolution, and is in danger of being turned by any one of a thousand accidents [. .] into such a Devil of a conflagration as has never been beheld since”1 (to Austen Henry Layard, 10 April 1855, Letters of Charles Dickens, vol. 7, 587). The mid-century Victorian English society to which Dickens refers in his letter bears little ostensible similarity to the political and economic structures of feudal, pre-Revolutionary France; it is a free-market, capitalist society in the full throes of industrial development.

  • Summary of “A Tale of Two Cities”
    SUBJECT : ENGLISH B. A. (SUBSIDIARY), PART-II, TOPIC – A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY DR. PRABHAT RANJAN KARN ASSOC. PROF., DEPT. OF ENGLISH, DR. L.K. V. D.COLLEGE, TAJPUR SUMMARY OF “A TALE OF TWO CITIES” The year is 1775. On a mission for his employer, Tellson's Bank, Mr. Jarvis Lorry travels to Dover to meet Lucie Manette. On his way, Mr. Lorry receives a mysterious message and replies with the words "Recalled to life." When they meet, Mr. Lorry reveals to Lucie that her father, Dr. Alexandre Manette, who she thought was dead, is still alive. Dr. Manette had been secretly imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille, but his former servant Monsieur Defarge, who now owns a wine shop in Paris that is a center of revolutionary activities, has smuggled Dr. Manette out of prison and hidden him in the store's attic. Meanwhile, Defarge's wife, Madame Defarge, secretly encodes the names of the Revolution's enemies into her knitting. Mr. Lorry and Lucie arrive 1 | Page in Paris to find Manette compulsively making shoes in a dark corner—prison has left him insane. Lucie lovingly restores him to himself and they return to London. The year is 1780. In London, Charles Darnay stands trial for treason as a spy. Lucie and Dr. Manette attend, having met Darnay during their return from France. The defense lawyer is Mr. Stryver, but it is his bored-looking associate, Sydney Carton, who wins the case. Carton points out how much he himself resembles Darnay in order to ruin the main witness's credibility.

    BookWolf Wolfnotes, available at http://Bookwolf.com. WOLFNOTE SUMMARY OF… CHARLES DICKENS’ A TALE OF TWO CITIES CONTEXT A Tale of Two Cities describes life in England and France during the latter part of the eighteenth century. Jarvis Lorry is engaged on a secret mission by his employer, Tellson’s Bank, to bring back Dr. Manette from France, who has been imprisoned in the Bastille in Paris for eighteen years. With him goes Lucie Manette, the Doctor’s daughter, who had believed he was dead until recently. They find Dr. Manette being cared for by the Defarges who are the owners of a Paris wine shop. Dr. Manette has suffered greatly and works at a shoemaker’s bench and barely communicates with Mr. Lorry. However, when Lucie comforts him, there is a spark of recognition. Five years later on, the Tellson’s Bank porter, Jerry Cruncher takes a message to Mr. Lorry who is a witness in the trial of Charles Darnay, who is accused of being a spy. Dr. Manette and Lucie are also witnesses in the case. John Barsad and Roger Cly of treason accuse Darnay, and the verdict seems certain to be one of guilty. Darnay’s lawyer, Mr. Stryver contests that Cly and Barsad are the real spies. Sidney Carton, Stryver’s assistant, points out that he looks very similar to Darnay and this casts doubt on the positive identification that had been made by the accusers. Darnay is surprisingly, acquitted. After the trial, Darnay, Carton and Stryver, regularly visit the Manette home, and they all become Lucie’s suitors.
