Described by Dickens as his “favourite child”, David Copperfield is, in many respects, the story of Dickens himself – although he wrote that “I really think I have done it ingeniously, and with a complicated interweaving of truth and fiction.”
Some of the best-known characters in literature populate the pages of this great work. Uriah Heep, Micawber, Steerforth, Betsy Trotwood, and many others play key roles in David Copperfield’s journey of self-discovery. This is regarded by most lovers of Dickens’ work as his masterpiece.
Charles Dickens published most of his works in monthly parts before they appeared in book form. This is an exact and high quality facsimile of the original monthly Part 2 of David Copperfield as it was published in June 1849. All of the original Victorian advertisements and announcements are included – even the most rare. It provides a genuinely unique insight into Victorian England.
Like the original, the Part includes a four-page blue/green wrapper, with three of the wrapper pages containing advertisements. There are 32 pages of text from the novel and two “plates” of illustration by Hablot Knight Browne (Phiz), as well as 12 pages of ‘Copperfield Advertiser’ and a further 12 pages of other announcements and advertisements.
All of the 20 monthly Parts of David Copperfield are available in Kindle format.
