A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution.
Dickens wrote and published Great Expectations in 1860-1861, and though the novel looks back to an earlier time (1812-1840), the period of composition itself is noteworthy. England in 1860-1 was thoroughly Victorian. The Queen had been on the throne since 1837, and would reign for another 40 years.
