Jess Berry, Joe Bianco, Luke Diagle, Katherine Schwartz SET TING London and Paris, 1783-1790. A B O U T T H E AU T H O R Charles Dickens (1812-1870) created some of the world’s most memorable characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, 5 novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children’s rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens was first inspired to write A Tale of Two Cities (1859) after starring in a play by his friend and professional rival Wilkie Collins, titled The Frozen Deep. The love triangle in the play became the basis for the relationships between the main characters in Tale. It has been suggested that in A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens reflects on his recently-begun relationship with eighteen-year-old actress Ellen Ternan. Lucie Manette has been noted as resembling Ternan physically. Dickens was the most popular novelist of his time, and remains one of the best known and most read of English authors.
