David Copperfield

This novel is a thorough biography of the eponymous Copperfield, tracking his life from happy childhood to troubled adolescence to his eventual marriage and career. During this time he must contend with his mother's tragic death, his malicious contemporary Uriah Heep, and his own internal conflict over whether to pursue a lucrative career (law) or one that's more creatively and personally fulfilling (writing, of course). One of the questions at the heart of this work is whether one can transcend their own roots without becoming corrupted either by the past or by newfound advantages - "the hard path to the right balance." Also, for those particularly interested in Dickens' life, this work is considered his most autobiographical, with certain strains of his experience highly evident in the story.
