A Tale of Two Cities was published serially in 1859. As a historical novel about the French Revolution, however, it takes us back to 18th century London and Paris. 1757-1794: The Period Represented in the Novel. Though A Tale of Two Cities begins in 1770 with Doctor Manetteâs release from the Bastille and ends in late 1793 or early 1794, the story as a whole covers a much broader period.
