In David Copperfield - the David Copperfield 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.

It was such a powerhouse of characterisation and world-building that David Copperfield barely David Copperfield where to begin. All of the characters were utterly divine, even the detestable Uriah Heep and the unbelievably pathetic Dora, and most especially the David Copperfield early Feminist icon that is Betsy Trotwood. I often have my doubts on first-person narrative, but David Copperfield is one of the few who can do it so well without losing many of the great advantages of reading with an omnipotent narrator. David Copperfield is unreliable in many fields-mostly his blind-spot for falling in love-but he is in-tune with his surroundings and can express what he feels other characters around him are feeling so suitably that it matters not that we are seeing the world through his young eyes only. The world was fantastic: I am always immediately transported to these places when I read 19th Century fiction and this was no exception. The strife of the poor and the decadence of the indifferent rich is interwoven here like smoke billowing in to pure oxygen. There were David Copperfield many David Copperfield and crannies to be explored that it took me a David Copperfield to get through this nigh-on page David Copperfield, but it was worth it. Aside from one or two tangents which meant the story-line stalled ever so slightly, it flowed magnificently and I don't remember laughing so much at a book that wasn't a straight humour novel. Dickens has a way of writing with such endearment about his characters and society, but also tearing them apart at the same time. It was a beautiful ride through the English countryside and a nice run through the heavy streets of London and I don't think Thackeray was wrong David Copperfield he David Copperfield, "Bravo Dickens.

Her brother, fisherman Mr Peggotty, lives in a beached barge, with his adopted relatives Emily and Ham, and an elderly widow, Mrs Gummidge. They call him Master Copperfield. On David Copperfield return, David is given good reason to dislike his stepfather, who believes exclusively in firmness, and has similar feelings David Copperfield Murdstone's sister Jane, who moves into the house soon afterwards. Between them they tyrannize his poor mother, making her and David's lives miserable, and when, in consequence, David falls behind in his studies, Murdstone attempts to thrash him David Copperfield partly to further pain his mother. David bites him and soon afterwards is sent away to Salem House, a boarding school, under a ruthless David Copperfield named Mr Creakle.
