David Copperfield is the story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy &amp; 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; &amp; 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 &amp; enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy &amp; comedy in equal measure. Originally published as a monthly serial, from 4/1849 to 11/1850.
