Dickens took advantage of the novel's serial publication to experiment with characterization, plot, and theme. In an innovative move, Dickens simultaneously released installments of the novel on a monthly basis, beginning with all of Book 1 in June and concluding with the last eight chapters of Book 3 in December. Weekly publication of chapters 1-3 of Book 1 began on April 30, 1859. This novel of the French Revolution was originally serialized in the author's own periodical All the Year Round. A Tale of Two Cities occupies a central place in the canon of Charles Dickens's works.
