David Copperfield
W W Norton & Co Inc 1987. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Charles Dickens</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> W W Norton & Co Inc</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780393952490</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 1987</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> 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 brilliant but ultimately unworthy school-friend James Steerforth; his formidable aunt Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous enchanting Dora Spenlow; and the magnificently impecunious Wilkins Micawber one of literature's great comic creations. In David Copperfield - the novel he described as his 'favourite child' - Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of the most exuberant and enduringly popular works filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure. This edition uses the text of the first volume publication of 1850 and includes updated suggestions for further reading original illustrations by 'Phiz' a revised chronology and expanded notes. In his new introduction Jeremy Tambling discusses the novel's autobiographical elements and its central themes of memory and identity.</p> W W Norton & Co Inc hardcover

David Copperfield
<b><i>Fine Second Edition and </i></b><b>was </b><b>leather-bound</b><b> and published / with an Introduction by Norman </b><b>Collins</b><b>.</b><br />For many lovers of the author's works DAVID COPPERFIELD ranks as the finest of his writings. "Of all my books" Dickens declared "I like this the best."<br /><b>With an Introduction by NORMAN COLLINS AND GENERAL EDITOR: G.F.MAINE. </b><b>George Frederick Maine</b> is a Scottish author and editor. British Literature Theology.<br /><b>Condition: Very Good: </b> VERY GOOD. Light rubbing wear to cover spine and page edges.<br /><b><i>Leather Bound</i></b>.<b><br /></b><b>Author Charles Dickens 1812-1870 the greatest English novelist of the Victorian age.</b><br /><b>HISTORY:</b><br />If <i>David Copperfield</i> has come to be Dickens's "darling" it is because it is the most autobiographical of all his novels. Some of the most painful episodes of his life are barely disguised; others appear indirectly termed "oblique revelations" by Paul Davis. However Dickens himself wrote to Forster that the book is not a pure autobiography but "a very complicated weaving of truth and invention". <br /><br />Between 1845 and 1848 Dickens wrote fragments of autobiography excerpts of which he showed to his wife and John Forster. Then in 1855 he made an attempt at revising it. This was a failure because as he tells his first love Maria Beadnell now Mrs Winter when he began dealing with his youthful love for her "I lost courage and burned the rest". Paul Schlicke points out that in fact not all the pages have gone through the flames and that as Dickens began writing <i>David Copperfield</i> some pages were unearthed. Proof of this is found in the eleventh chapter of the novel: "I begin Life on my own Account and don't like it" where the story of Dickens's experience at the Warren Shoe Factory is told almost verbatim with the only change "Mr Micawber" instead of "my father". John Forster also published substantial extracts relating to this period in Dickens's biography including a paragraph devoted to Wellington House College which corresponds with the second stage of childhood recounted in the novel. Thus Dickens looks back on his painful past already evoked by the martyrdom of Little Paul in <i>Dombey and Son</i> though voiced by an omniscient narrator in that earlier novel. Until Forster published his biography of Dickens in 1872–1874 no one knew that Dickens had worked in a factory as a child not even his wife until Dickens wrote it down and gave the papers to Forster in 1847.The first generations of readers did not know this part of David Copperfield's story began like an incident in the author's life.
