David Copperfield is the story of a young man's adventures on
his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the
discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the
gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his
tyrannical stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey
Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep;
frivolous, enchanting Dora; and the magnificently impecunious
Micawber, one of literature's great comic creations. In David
Copperfield--the novel he described as his "favorite
child"--Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create
one of his most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with
tragedy and comedy in equal measure.This edition uses the text of
the first book edition of 1850Includes updated suggestions for
further reading, a revised chronology, and expanded
notesintroduction discusses the novel's autobiographical elements
and its central themes of memory and identity
