"David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens is a novel published in 1849-1850. Narrated by David himself, this bildungsroman follows his journey from infancy to maturity through Victorian England. After his mother's tragic remarriage to the cruel Murdstone, young David endures hardship at boarding school, child labor in London, and eventual escape to his eccentric aunt.
