Title: The Real David Copperfield
Description: The Real David Copperfield. Robert Graves contends that half the words in Charles Dickens' classic add nothing to the story. The original was written in serial form over 20 months while Dickens formed the habit of turning out an installment a month, seldom looking more than a couple of months ahead for plot development. So he rewrote it.
