Possible literary agent's or prospective publisher's
rejection of Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities: "I've talked it
over with the other reader, and I don't like the sudden change in Sidney
Carton's character. I was drawn in by the beautiful and magnificent
opening, but Sidney appeared too degenerate and irresolute in the opening
chapters and too self-flagellating, while his death at the end was too
self-sacrificing. I found it depressing."
Charles Dickens self-published.
Imagine what it would have been like if--
1. Tale of Two Cities and other Dickens' masterpieces were never written or published.
2. Dickens re-wrote his novels to make them "happy."
