One of Dickens' most autobiographical novels, David Copperfield follows the journey of a young man from a grim and impoverished upbringing to a successful novelist. The characters are some of Dickens' most vivid and memorable. There's the oppressive stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; David's school friend James Steerforth; his resolute aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble, yet dangerous Uriah Heep; extravagant but charming Dora Spenlow; and the magnificently poor Wilkins Micawber, one of literature's best comedic figures. Probably due to his similar story, Dickens' referred to David Copperfield as his "favorite child." David Copperfield is an epic tale that traverses from heartbreaking to heartwarming.
