Dickens and the Fall of the Bastille
In the novel, A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens closely followed the historical account written by Thomas Schneiderwind. The details Dickens presents of the storming of the Bastille brings the reader up-front and center to the “raging storm” that filled Paris. ... No cannons were used by the “Jacques”, however, the use of cannons did play a role prior to the storming of the Bastille. ...
In describing the four hour siege of the second drawbridge to the Bastille, Dickens again emphasizes the sounds surrounding the scene:
Flashing weapons, blazing torches … shrieks, volleys … bravery without stint, boom, smash and rattle … but, still the deep ditch, and the single drawbridge, and the massive stone walls, and the eight great towers, … Four fierce hours.
