Abstract EN

Literature is the record by which human feelings, political incidents, geographical sites, and historical events are preserved.

Thus, readers may resort to a book written by a historian as well as a historical novel in order to gain more knowledge about history.

Despite the fact that many novels incorporate a sense of history, historical novels are read for their themes, settings, and historical events.

Such novels represent societies in the past and make use of history to juxtapose factual and fictional characters in a historical situation.

What chiefly distinguishes history are the revolutions that break out and lead to change such as the French Revolution.

The French Revolution was an inspiring, unimaginable, horrific, appalling, and threatening event that took the world largely by surprise.

Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel that is set in France and England.

Its characters, plot, and events belong to the period of the French Revolution.

The aim of this study is to explore the British portrayal of the French Revolution in Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities.

It also discusses the author’s portrayal of the Revolution, its causes, and its consequences.
