  • David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Chapter 13 (Excerpt)
    David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Chapter 13 (Excerpt) My aunt’s handmaid, as I supposed she was from what she had said, put her rice in a little basket and walked out of the shop; telling me that I could follow her, if I wanted to know where Miss Trotwood lived. I needed no second permission; though I was by this time in such a state of con- sternation and agitation, that my legs shook under me. I followed the young woman, and we soon came to a very neat little cottage with cheerful bow-windows: in front of it, a small square graveled court or garden full of flowers, carefully tended, and smelling deliciously. “This is Miss Trotwood’s,” said the young woman. “Now you know; and that’s all I have got to say.” With which words she hurried into the house, as if to shake off the responsibility of my appearance; and left me standing at the garden-gate, looking disconsolately over the top of it towards the parlor window, where a muslin curtain partly undrawn in the middle, a large round green screen or fan fastened on to the windowsill, a small table, and a great chair, suggested to me that my aunt might be at that moment seated in awful state. My shoes were by this time in a woeful condition. The soles had shed themselves bit by bit, and the upper leathers had broken and burst until the very shape and form of shoes had departed from them. My hat (which had served me for a night-cap, too) was so crushed and bent, that no old battered handleless saucepan on a dunghill need have been ashamed to vie with it.

A young hero battling a difficult youth, we see David’s struggles from his childhood days at the family’s estate in Blunderstone, to his early life of poverty and misery, to his final, joyful success with his writing and retrieving his and his aunt’s fortunes. Many of our favorite Dickens’ characters are present as David’s gentle mother, Clara; the loving housekeeper, Peggoty; his cruel stepfather, Murdstone; his schoolmates Steerforth and Tradddles; the amusing, ever-on-the-run Micawbers; the lovely Agnes Wickfield, and the despicable Uriah Heep. The large role of David can be played by two actors, one the young David, the other the older. Other parts require actors to be a narrators one moment and then be characters the next, a process which keeps the story moving seamlessly.

  • A Dickens of an Idea
    A Dickens of an Idea By Karen Andreola Printed in Practical Home Schooling Magazine #4, 1993. The Andreolas are the founders of Charlotte Mason Research & Supply Co. They publish the Parents' Review newsletter, which is dedicated to reviving the principles of Charlotte Mason education. What do you think of when you hear these names: • Milton • Shakespeare • Sir Walter Scott • Charles Dickens? Romance? Excitement? Great writing? Moral values? That's how our ancestors thought of them! Sadly, many of the greatest books that have strengthened and shaped Western civilization are drifting out of our life and thought. But it doesn't have to be this way. We can responsibly keep the literary lights burning brightly for the benefit of our children and future generations. Let's start with the most approachable of the authors above: Charles Dickens. It is time to rescue Dickens from the attic and let him stir the hearts of our children. Dickens will challenge, motivate, and entertain in ways the Hardy Boys never could. Learning to Judge Good and Evil Dickens became famous writing stories that highlighted the difference between right and wrong in his own time. His stories invite us to form an opinion and make decisions about a character's right or wrong actions. This practice enables us to more naturally make a moral judgment in our daily lives. As only an artist could, Dickens paints a moral picture of life. To paint the moral for children is more effective than to "point" it. Here lies the help our children need to develop a "moral imagination." (Continued at this point from POINT OF VIEW in the printed newsletter) When we read episodes from Dickens's stories aloud to the children we get to know his characters more intimately than our own neighbors.

  • David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
    Ch apter 1 In reading my story, you’ll decide whether I’m the hero of my own life or someone else is. I was born at Blunderstone in Suffolk. My father, David, had died six months before, at the age of thirty-nine. His aunt, Betsey Trotwood, was the head of the family. Aunt Betsey had been married to a younger man who had been very handsome and was said to have abused her. They had separated. Aunt Betsey had taken back her birth name, bought a seaside house in Dover, established herself there as a single woman with one servant, and lived in near-seclusion. It was believed that her husband had gone to India and died there ten years later. My father had been a favorite of Aunt Betsey until his marriage, which had deeply offended her. She never had met my mother, Clara. However, because my mother had been only nineteen when she married my father, then thirty- eight, Aunt Betsey had taken offense and referred to my mother as a “wax doll.” My father and Aunt Betsey had never seen each other again. The day before I was born was a bright, windy March day. My mother was in poor health and in low spirits. Dressed in mourning because of my father’s 1 2 CHARLES DICKENS recent death, she sat in the parlor by the fi re shortly before sunset. When she lifted her sad eyes to the window opposite her, she saw an unfamiliar lady coming up the walk. The lady was Aunt Betsey.

There’s a lectern to one side of the stage. A few wooden chairs and a table are set out to suggest a living room. NARRATOR DAVID enters, smartly dressed, holding an old- fashioned manuscript book. The performers applaud him and take seats at the sides of the stage where they remain watching except when performing in a scene. The heavily pregnant CLARA takes a seat on one of the chairs in the “living room”. Narrator David goes to the lectern, opens his book and starts to read. NARRATOR DAVID To begin my life with the beginning of my life. Clara lets out a really loud moan. She’s in labour. CLARA AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! PEGGOTTY!!! PEGGOTTY gets up from the seats at the side and rushes around looking for something, including in the audience. PEGGOTTY Peggotty’s coming! As promised! Peggotty promisey. With you in 13 seconds!.. Aha! She finds what she’s looking for: some towels, hidden under one of the seats in the front row. Clara lets out another moan and Peggotty joins her with the towels. CLARA AAAAAAARGH!
