Description
David Copperfield, Charles Dickens' beloved novel, follows the journey of a young man from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful writer. The story is filled with vivid characters, including a tyrannical stepfather, a brilliant but ultimately unworthy friend, a formidable aunt, and a comic creation who embodies the spirit of generosity and folly.
This revised edition of the novel, first published in 1850, features updated suggestions for further reading, original illustrations, and expanded notes. A new introduction by Jeremy Tambling provides insight into the novel's autobiographical elements and central themes of memory and identity.
Published by Penguin Books, this edition is part of the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. With over 1,700 titles, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world for more than seventy years.
