The historical value of Dickens’s a tale of two cities

الملخص EN

In "historical" fiction, characters that never really existed, give expression to the impact of historical events on the people who really did live through them.

The result is not history, as an accurate record of actual events, but fiction in which an earlier age is rendered through the personal joys and sufferings of characters.

This paper aims at investigating the historical realities presented in Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities.
