History, Memory, and Rewriting the Past in A Tale of Two Cities
Abstract:As a historical novel, Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities is not only a fiction set in the past, but also an investigation into the authority that resides in the act of historical narration. The novel analyzes the differences among the many forms of the historical register, such as written text, memory, and physiological inheritance, and repeatedly asks how the parameters and affordances of unofficial or imperfect narratives might allow for the rerouting of history to more ethical ends.
期刊介绍:
SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
