David Copperfield

David Copperfield is the common name of the eighth novel by Charles Dickens. Its full title is The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account). The story traces the life of David Copperfield from childhood to maturity. Like most of his works, it originally appeared in serial form during the two preceding years. Many elements of the novel follow events in Dickens' own life, and it is probably the most autobiographical of his works.
