| description | The story of David Copperfield, from the moment of his birth until his final attainment of happiness and success, involves misery and elation, cruelty and kindness, in equal measure. In his childhood, David's world is bounded by his young mother and by his nurse Peggotty, but all this changes with the arrival ofa step-father, Murdstone. After the deaths of his mother and younger brother, David is abandoned and forced to exchange school for degrading employment, until he is rescued by Aunt Betsey Trotwood and the mad but sagacious Mr Dick. As the story progresses, the upper class world of his schoolfellow Steerforth, and the working class world of the Peggotty family who live in an upturned boat, become ever more closely connected, with troubling consequences. |
