Found this way deep in my YouTube "Watch Later" collection. It's a really nice guide to getting started with Charles Dickens including a recommended order for select books from Robert Douglas-Fairhurst.
The grudge match you've all been waiting for: the thrilling conclusion to A Tale of Two Cities, where, presumably, London and Paris finally square off to determine who shall be the winner.
We're back with more #TaleOfTwoCities tonight, and the end draws near! Will Charles Darnay escape alive? Will the suspiciously Darnay-looking Sydney Carton devise a plan? Will Jezemiah Brunkleskin make an appearance?

Today in Labor History July 28, 1794: The authorities guillotined Robespierre, architect of the French Reign of Terror. Prior to the French Revolution, he had advocated for universal suffrage, and abolition of the death penalty and the Atlantic slave trade. There are too many historical novels set during the French Revolution to name them all. However, here are some of the most famous ones. “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (1905) by Baroness Orczy. “A Tale of Two Cities” (1859) by Charles Dickens. “Ninety-Three” (Quatrevingt-treize) by Victor Hugo. It was published in 1874, three years after the bloody upheaval of the Paris Commune.
