The Book Page

The book for the day: I continue to read and re-read A Tale Of Two Cities, Charles Dickens, 1859. The complexities remind me of Wuthering Heights. It's hard to say which is better. My notes are here.

  • Wuthering Heights: published, 1847, Ellis Bell. 
  • A Tale of Two Cities: 1859. 

Query

Probably two different genres, one of English romanticism, the other of French / English history, but which of the two is generally considered the better: Wuthering Heights or A Tale of Two Cities, written about ten years apart, "Wuthering Heights," first?
