A tale of two cities -- Our mutual friend -- Great expectations.

Dickens Novels as Verse adds to Dickens criticism by being unlike most Dickens criticism. It argues that some of the great Dickens novels (A Tale of Two Cities, Our Mutual Friend and Great Expectations) are held together by book-length patterns in topics that, like alliteration in lyric verse, are non-signifying and do not reward interpretation, but that, by organizing the object in dimensions extra to syntax, make readers' experience feel truer than it would otherwise feel.
