    The Personal History of David Copperfield
    Author

    Charles Dickens

    Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

      This classic Dickens work follows the life of an orphaned David Copperfield and the people who shaped his life. He and his mother lived with a beloved servant Peggoty. After his mother's death, his stepfather removes him from school, sending him to work in a factory. Life is terrible, so David runs away to his aunt who agrees to give him a home. She calls him "Trotwood." He encounters the people from his past on many occasions and encounters more people who play a role in his life. The strength of the work lies in character development. The Penguin classics edition includes a large introduction as well as excerpts from a Dickens biography and early outlines of the novel.

      Child manipulation.

      What a terrific story! This book was part of our school curriculum when I was doing my seventh grade. I simply loved it. If you haven't read, you must read it.
    • 4/5
      Reading Dickens in publication order, this novel has the best first two hundred pages yet. Aided by Dickens' proficient use of first-person perspective, David is entirely sympathetic as a child. It's the best grasp of childhood I've read since Joyce's Portrait while David suffers awfully under the Murdstones' tyranny, and Aunt Betsey is my favourite Dickens character yet. Up to this point I was readying this novel's praises.But then ... the novel inexplicably turns away from David and he is merely witness to various drama. There's a good assortment of the usual wonderful characters here that Dickens can always muster: Pegotty and her brother are earthy and loving; Mr. Dick is a hoot; Uriah is plenty conniving, albeit not the nastiest villain Dickens has shown me (that's still Pecksniff); Emily and Agnes are only dull angels but Rosa Dartle is under a darker cast, tremendous in her vindictiveness but justified in her heart. Even so, it wasn't enough to make this portion of the story interesting, while David remained a non-player and the novel transmitted no sense of direction. But then ... David stands up to a villain, finds romance, and the novel blooms once more. Its momentum is again largely driven by his actions and choices, and from there to the end I enjoyed all the rest. It has a neat and tidy ending that's full of charm, if unlikely in some details, and it all concludes on a high note. If only it weren't for that middle portion.
    • 2/5
      I finished this book today with a sigh of relief. I love Dickens's novels usually, which kept me going, but I found this one a chore: hellishly long (837 pages of small print), a superfluity of characters and caricatures, all of whom are afflicted with verbal diarrhoea; and burdened with a plodding narrative and a colourless central character. Much of the dialogue was mawkish, even by this author's standards. For hardened Dickens fans only.
    • 4/5
      Written in 1850, Dickens' 16th major work, and 8th novel, is a solid four-star work. Combining the picaresque bildungsroman from Dickens' early period with the more complex character studies he was becoming known for, it's perhaps his best book to this point. Perhaps because parts of the novel are autobiographical, David starts to feel a bit real in a sense that perhaps no other character in his canon had perhaps yet reached. There's a wonderful array of supporting characters and a real sense of forward movement and thematic unity. I'm ultimately more in tune with Dickens' last works, but David Copperfield is another rung on Dickens' ladder to immortality. He's not a Tolstoy or a Flaubert, and we shouldn't expect him to be. He treats character more as something to be chronicled than to be dissected. Nevertheless, there are many great, detailed little moments in David's life, and the world around him, that suggest the continuous development of this great author.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this wacky story of Dickens'. It follows David Copperfield as he goes off on an adventure, in a way, and meets all sorts of crazy characters. Again, Dickens is incredibly clever and his wit can be found on every page, along with rich details and an atmosphere that seeps through the pages.
    • 3/5
      I hate to say it but this book needed an editor. For me parts of it were brilliant. Others not so much.
    • 4/5
      Een van de beste van Dickens. Grote vaart, minder feuilletonachtig dan vorige; maar structuur is schakelgewijs, met enkele grote sprongen; sommige personages komen na 10 hoofdstukken weer terug; vanaf hoofdstuk 52 neemt de spankracht duidelijk af. Kaleidoscoop van personages, de ene al interessanter dan de andere; bijna allemaal blijven ze aan de oppervlakte steken; opvallend is de engelachtigheid van de vrouwen (op tante Betsy na); Centrale thema: mengeling van hoe iemand op zijn jonge leven terugkijkt, en anderzijds een oefening in relatievorming (het huwelijk van de Micawbers als rolmodel)Centrale waarden: goedheid, zorg, trouw; geluk in huiselijk leven;
    • 3/5
      So, uh...I usually like Dickens but I'm not a fan of books done in the style of biopics unless there is some uniquely amazing tale that ties their biopic together - like the mystery of Pip's wealth in Great Expectations or Oliver's quest to find a place he belongs in Oliver Twist. Only time will tell how I come to feel about this particular book...Update: Nope. Didn't care for this at all. There were a few interesting episodes in David's life, but nothing worthy of a tome of this depth.
    • 4/5
      Another Dickens down! Not the best but still well worth it. Best character by far is Micawber. Hilarious.
    • 5/5
      In persuading me to read David Copperfield by Charles Dickens this recent autumn, a friend described that book thus: "It's basically David Copperfield's whole life story. That's it. Just his whole life."

      Some one thousand plus pages later (depending on which edition you read), it's a pretty accurate description. Beginning just before his birth, with David telling the story as it was related to him, the first-person account ends sometime in Copperfield's mid-life. From his orphaned childhood to step-parents with less than scrupulous morality, David's childhood has all the hallmarks of 19th century England, at least in so far as it is portrayed by Dickens, the Bronte sisters, or George Elliot (or even Victor Hugo, who finished Les Miserables in Britain's Guernsey). Orphans, step-parents, premature death (as in, death by some means other than of old age), the conflict between marriages for love and for money, and the constant worries about annual income, debt, and debtor's prison all make their appearance in David Copperfield.

      When I first began reading David Copperfield, I bemoaned the length. I was reminded by another friend (who knew I had so many friends...and friends that read Dickens?) that unlike more recently written novels, 19th century writers like Copperfield (and Thackery) would publish their stories in serial format. Essentially, I was binge reading the 19th century equivalent of Netflix. Indeed.

      Regardless, it is a long read, and there are times when it feels like it, as well. On the other hand, if you understand that it was read in weekly (or bi-weekly?) installments, by people whose light was limited to what was afforded by coal, oil, candle, or daylight, and this was the cutting edge of entertainment--the boob tube was still a century away--then the length takes on a different perspective. We are growing with Copperfield, sharing his travails as his mother is forced to send him away to boarding school, his adventures as he sets off on the road, alone and nearly penniless, to find a long-lost aunt who spurned him at birth upon discovering that he was, much to her dismay, a boy instead of a girl, and the warm flush of young love, as well as the loss of love's labors lost...it's a regular, serialized drama, fit for the age.

      That said, it doesn't lose much it's shine, though the style took some time for me to warm to. By the end, though, if just be the sheer number of pages during which I've been in his head, Copperfield is a friend, and I was a bit sad to put down the book. Dickens' world is small, even while it reflects a much larger world "out there," and the universe of characters is finite and all of them will play a role in his protagonist's life (a character who, in himself, often seems to echo Dickens' own self-conception). Dickens gives each their own story that is both connected to and separate from the others. Their voices are distinct, proving Dickens' ear for dialect, class, and education, not to mention character. I loved to hear the eccentricities of Betsey Trotwood's aversion to donkeys in her yard, Wilkins Micawber's elaborate way of speaking, the sniveling of the villainous Uriah Heep, and the contrasts between innocent Dora Spenlow and the "girl next door" Agnes Wickfield. Through both tragedy and triumph, all get their just deserts in way that is satisfying, if more trite than we might expect in a modern novel. But this is not a modern novel--it is a reflection of an age when life was short and brutal, when England ruled the waves, and literature was still a rare occupation. As such, it's a rare treasure, a classic, and appreciable for the window it opens on an age now past.

      This was a listen and WHAT a listen it was! Richard Armitage narrates, nay, he performs this book better than I ever could have read it for myself, better than any movie or TV series produced. He is astounding in his range, grace, understatement, mirth, and sadness. He acts every character with depth and understanding. Every character. Bravo. A thousand times, Bravo. As for the story, well, I bloody loved it. The last and only Dickens I ever read was Great Expectations in high school. And we all know how that goes. I was indifferent. Knowing David Copperfield makes me want to know them all. With the exception of the Murdstones, whose fate I will simply have to imagine as being of the foulest kind, all the story lines were tied up very satisfactorily. What a ride of emotion and archetype and subtlety! Superb!
    • 5/5
      Ok, so it took me 6 months to read this as I read other books in the interim. This is a big book in size, in importance, in memorable characters and its prose. The story follows David from a very happy early childhood, to a miserable relationship with a mean step-father, to an inferior primary school, child labour and then salvation with his aunt Betsy Trotwood. His life is turned around and from here on we meet characters who have become famous such as Uriah Heep and Mr. Micawber. Dickens is a superior writer. The chapter called The Tempest is the best written description of a devastating storm I have ever read. Amazing story.
    • 5/5
      This is the sort of novel that always makes me wish the protagonist was female. It is a story about growing up and becoming the master of one's own destiny, riding the unpredictable waves of fate and circumstance and building a good future for oneself. David Copperfield starts out with bad circumstances, and through luck and his own efforts, plus a few supportive friends, he ends up with a good life and a promising future.
    • 3/5
      At last away from the Murdstones, the plot started to pick up, then, thud, Wickfield, Old Soldier, and Micawbers balancedthankfully by Peggoty, Aunt Betsey, and Dick.3/4 of the way through DAVID COPPERFIELD and here's what needs to happen:1. Uriah and Steerforth, pistols at dawn = no survivors2. Dora falls in love with Malden, divorces fading Davey, & rides off on stallion3. Davey absently, yet quickly, recovers, and marries Agnes4. Agnes locates Martha and Emily who then move into a nice small picturesquecottage with Aunt Betsey - the Peggotys move nearby5. Hans sails to America to lead an Abolitionist Crusade6. Traddles finds Wickfield and Betsey's stolen $7. The Micawbers are written out of the plot where they never should have appeared8. The Mudstones, Mrs. Steerforth, and Ms. Dartle are admitted to any asylum wherethey make each other, and not us, insane&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Finished the book and, at last, Davey and Agnes Marry!Definitely wrong about Micawbers, at least the Mister, who comes to playa pivotal role, at last.

      The life story of David Copperfield, hugely enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      At the completion of this novel, my only complaint is that I took so long to work my way through it. Not that I don't cherish the time I spent with it, but more that the time I spent was far too infrequent.How is it possible that I can find so much of myself in the depths of a 19th Century, fictional and notedly male character? It can only be the flowing associations of the heart, wither it's strength or is undisciplined aspects. Copperfield's fortitude through a life of fear, loss and some of the most downtrodden adventures ever known to literature is truly inspiring for anyone who has felt they can't possibly make it over the next big mountain in their lives.I can genuinely say that is the most profitable 99 cents I've ever spent at a secondhand store and that it's coffee stains, torn and battered covers are well deserved indeed.
    • 5/5
      my own analogy-

      " David Copperfield is to a fine seven course meal what modern fiction is to a drive thru burger joint."

      Excellent character development, timeless story and a wonderful,leisurely read.Enjoyed it immensely!!!!
    • 4/5
      Very (very) long, but full of great and very funny scenes. There are nothing quite like the characters in Dickens. If you've seen the movie, you'll have a bit of a head start in appreciating this.
    • 5/5
      Extremely enjoyable, with special mentions to Tommy Traddles, aunt Trotwood and, of course, Mr Micawber. Miss Dartle was a bit dark and twisted. I thought Dickens did a good job of foreshadowing Steerforth's superficiality and lack of morality and I also found the reality check of actually being married to the deeply annoying (to me) Dora both sad and true.
    • 5/5
      It's funny, in a way that reminds me of The Cosby Show. It's the first book that's ever made me cry. By the time I got towards the end, I was as happy for characters with happy endings as I would have been if they were real people.
    • 5/5
      Admittedly, I am a huge Dickens fan. I have read many of his books and enjoyed all of them. His bizarre characters, complex plots, and humorous dialog resonate with me. That being said, David Copperfield stands out as being one of the my favorites. With the audiobook classics, I usually listen only while driving. I can only take so much of the elaborate prose and sentences that span an entire page. But I found myself completely mesmerized while I was listening to Simon Vance's recording. I brought the audiobook with me everywhere and finished the book (almost 34 hours) in under 2 weeks. Brilliant and unforgettable.
    • 4/5
      Almost read in college, but waited 40 years to actually read it. Seemed like reading an old soap opera. I wonder what i would have thought 40 years ago?
    • 5/5
      I'm not gonna pull a Dickens on you and turn this into a 600 page novel about the life of a boy. I will tell you that Dickens loved this book and related most to David. Full of Dickens' intricate descriptions and sarcasm. Read it.
    • 2/5
      Beautiful prose, but kind of boring...Sorry all you Dickites.
    • 5/5
      Quite a saga. A veritable classic in its own right. Probably one of the most reviewed books there ever was... So I will be short. This enormous novel became part of me - even though I read it with some breaks (devoted to other books). The semi-biographical story is compelling, the characters will live in my mind for a long time. Mildly criticizing one of his characters (Mr. Micawber), Dickens says: "We talk about the tyranny of words, but we like to tyrannize over them too; we are fond of having a large superfluous establishment of words to wait upon us on great occasions; we think it looks important, and sounds well." And "....as slaves when they are too numerous rise against their masters, so I think I could mention a nation that has got into many great difficulties, and will get into many greater, from maintaining too large a retinue of words." Slightly ironic, I have to say - as if the author is admonishing his own prolifically verbose self.
    • 5/5
      A beautiful edition of a great old story.
    • 3/5
      This book is difficult to rate or review. Unlike other of Dicken's novel, this is quite interesting, fast paced, full of actions, events and dialogues. Book is long but delight to read. While interest isn't like mystery novel (which it doesn't claim to be) but is fairly strong that reader is kept longing for story to move forward. And yet, when story does end, this is no aftertaste, no lingering feelings or thoughts, no loss of narrative, no sadness of not knowing fate of characters any more. This is a good book no doubt: humour is well written, characters are greatly developed, events and storytelling is compelling, but it's also a book which is great while being read, and equally forgettable when finished. Rating thus, perhaps, stays in middle to reflect that very mindset.
