It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. . . .

As its title promises, this brief chapter establishes the era in which the novel takes place: England and France in 1775. The age is marked by competing and contradictory attitudes-It was the best of times, it was the worst of times-but resembles the present period in which Dickens writes. In England, the public worries over religious prophecies, popular paranormal phenomena in the form of the Cock-lane ghost, and the messages that a colony of British subjects in America has sent to King George III. France, on the other hand, witnesses excessive spending and extreme violence, a trend that anticipates the erection of the guillotine. Yet in terms of peace and order, English society cannot justify much national boasting either-crime and capital punishment abound.
