A Tale of Two Cities | Introduction

snip-"Modern critical opinion, however, has given the novel an important place among Dickens's most mature works of fiction."-

[Borges]

I don't who kney mean but certainly not Clifton Fadiman or even my old Victorianist Professor. If you read Dickens you read him for the fantastical London he created...not historical novels. He only wrote two, the other, Barnaby Rudge, may be his single least read. But the humorless ATOTC feels like ersatz Dickens.
