Title Meaning: A Tale of Two Cities

"A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens

The novel A Tale of Two Cities starts in the year 1775, during the French Revolution. Charles Dickens chose to name the novel "A Tale of Two Cities" because it was the closest contact of European life at the time. Dickens' other novels were based in one city and this novel takes place in two of the great cities.  Therefore, I think that the novel’s title fits it very well.
