Charles Dickens's David Copperfield - A Routledge Study Guide and Sourcebook (Paperback)

David Copperfield ranks as one of Dickens's most popular works. Seen as partly autobiographical, it is very widely studied on secondary and undergraduate literature courses. This Sourcebook considers:
*the contexts of the novel, bringing together relevant material from Dickens's 'Autobiographical Fragment', his 'Appeal to Fallen Women', A Christmas Carol and The Haunted Man.
* interpretations of the novel, ranging from early reviews and commentary through to twentieth and twenty-first century responses and encompassing a wide range of critical perspectives
performances of the novel, from Dickens's own public reading through to film and BBC adaptations
*key passages of the novel, clearly introduced with discussion of critical issues raised by each passage
*further reading for those interested in particular aspects of the study of the novel
Most importantly, Richard Dunn illuminates the crucial connections between contexts, interpretations and the text for students wishing to make their own readings of Dickens's novel. Drawing on thirty years teaching experience, Dunn provides an accessible and engaging guide to this most enjoyable of nineteenth-century novels.
