Reviews

[Sanders'] time-scheme for the novel, setting fictional against historical events, is especially helpful. What Andrew Sanders offers is, to quote his general editors, a 'factual rather than critical' annotation of the complete novel... 'A Tale of Two Cities' responds particularly well to such treatment and the job is meticulously done... the Dickens Companions are clearly indispensable to the scholar. Le travail d'Andrew Sanders sur A Tale of Two Cities maintient...le niveau eleve d'intelligence et de savoir qui avait ete etabli dans les trois premiers volumes. Sanders connait a fond le livre qu'il annote, ainsi qu'une grande partie des etudes qui lui ont ete consacrees... Sanders enrichit, par l'enorme masse de documents et d'informations qu'il apporte, notre connaissance de l'oeuvre de Dickens, de sa genese, de ses sources, de son arriere-plan. ... '[L]e volume est d'ores et deja solides et parfois brilliant.
