مشخصات پژوهش

This study examines Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities through Stephen Greenblatt's New Historicism to analyze themes of social inequity, sacrifice, and revenge within the sociohistorical context of the French Revolution. Drawing on Greenblatt’s concept of "the circulation of social energy," the research highlights the interplay between cultural forces and individual agency. It investigates how Dickens critiques systemic injustices while portraying personal morality through characters like Sydney Carton and Madame Defarge. Integrating insights from René Girard and Raymond Williams, this interdisciplinary approach underscores the enduring relevance of Dickens' work in exploring the dynamics of societal power, historical upheaval, and human behavior.
