1. 研究目的与意义

When it comes to English Literature in the realism in the 19th century, the great writer Charles Dickens is inevitably mentioned. His novels, widely noticed and popular throughout the world, reflect the ugliness and darkness in Europe, especially in Britain and France. But he expresses his philosophy of romanticism in the A Tale of Two Cities. The masterpiece--A Tale of Two Cities contains the author#8217;s unique writing skills like symbolization, flashback and foreshadowing. In this novel, all of the characters and plots are imaginary. However, the background (the French Revolution) is real which makes the story vivid and dramatic. The study of A Tale of Two Cities can help us profoundly detect the connotation of romanticism in literature. The last but not least, the novel also attracts readers#8217; attention by its self-sacrifice spirit. In the chaos, sacrifice reflects the flash point of human nature. These lofty spirits are still going to give our mankind meaningful guidance.

2. 研究内容和预期目标

Through analyzing the image of the protagonist----- Charles Darney and Sydney Carton who are quite different but similar in some places, the topic itself aims to show self-sacrifice in the time of troubles which perfectly correspond to the title. The whole paper concentrates on the detection of the author#8217;s view on romance and reality. Behaviors that the family does in difficulties all reflect the noble spirits of human nature. Therefore, readers of this novel can appreciate thequintessence of the original script from another new angle. In this essay, many specific problems will be solved. (1)The images of romanticism, like carriage, torch, dark night and other gothic things related to romanticism will be analyzed in this novel. (2)The reflections of self-sacrifice spirit will be discussed: the kindness of Dr. Manette, the revenge of Madame Defarge and the salvation of Carton. (3)The value of the self-sacrifice spirit: the author#8217;s intention here and lessons we can learn.

3. 国内外研究现状

In past few years the domestic research on Charles Dickens mainly concentrates on Dickens#8217; critical realistic writing technique from the perspectives of the theory, creative approach and humor with wit. Scholars seldom study the romanticism in Dickens#8217; works. In the meantime, it goes short of the materials and research for this aspect. However, nowadays experts and intellectuals have become more and more concentrated on the romanticism that appears in Dickens#8217;s works. For example, A Study on the Critical Realism and Romanticism in Dickens#8217;s A Tale of Two Cities written by Yu Lili, A Comparative Study between A Tale of Two Cities and The Great Gatsby― The Self-sacrifice Spirits in Romanticism written by Na Li and so on. All of them focus on analyzing the representative images to find the romanticism in this novel. At the same time, they use case studies to find out how self-sacrifice spirit reflects in the novel. Now many problems have been solved. However, there are still some doubts, which is the reason why I attempt to make research on this topic.
