David Copperfield was Dickens’s eighth novel, published in 1850, having been serialized two years prior. It is one of the most popular novels ever written, with over two hundred million copies sold worldwide. Every writer draws upon his experience to fashion and write works of fiction. To the degree a writer adheres to the strict line of events remembered, felt, internalized, processed, resolved, or not, is the same degree that a work is termed “autobiographical.” To some degree all works are autobiographical, but in each writer’s oeuvre there exists one book which is the deepest, most precious expression of the writer’s heart and soul. David Copperfield was that book for Dickens. The structure is more open-ended than a three or five part structure might dictate, because it is one of those rare works bold enough to present life as it is and as it was.  Yes, it is a novel, a great novel, with David and a host of characters, including the despicable, Ur-master of office politics Uriah Heap; but it is also more than a novel because it is Dickens’s most fervent statement of self, his ultimate declaration of what life is, his life, anybody’s life, of what it means and why it matters.
