As in so many of Dickens' tales, the powerful abuse the weak and exploitation rules. David Copperfield is the semi-autobiographical tale of a young man's journey from an impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a novelist.

Remaining one of the best-known works of the Victorian era, Dickens names David Copperfield as his "favourite child."
