When I was in middle school, I was asked to read some extracurricular books, including "David Copperfield", which is still a compulsory extracurricular book in middle school.
Synopsis
David Copperfield, a novel by the British novelist Charles Dickens, is known as his "favorite child of the heart" and was published month by month in twenty parts between 1849 and 1850.
The book uses a first-person narrative that incorporates many of the author's own life experiences.
The novel tells the life course of the protagonist David from childhood to middle age, taking the birth of "I" as the source, the sincerity and darkness of friends, the naivety and impulsiveness of love, the sweetness and triviality of marriage, the contradictions and harmony of family members converge into a stream, flowing slowly on the riverbed of fate, and finally merging into the tolerant and magnificent sea.
It is interspersed with various characters and opportunities, and the language is witty and funny, showing a vast picture of Britain in the middle of the 19th century, reflecting Dickens's ideal of wanting the world to be full of goodness and justice.
Creative background
Dickens's childhood was unfortunate. Although his parents are alive, due to the family's embarrassment, his parents are quite negligent about his education and future, so Dickens's childhood loneliness at home is no less than that of the orphan David in the novel.
His father went to jail for debt, and he had to earn an independent living at the age of eleven, working as a child laborer like David did at the Stack. Later, like David, he apprenticed in a law firm and studied shorthand; as a journalist, interviewed parliamentary debates... There are passages in the novel that the writer transplants almost entirely from autobiographies.
The book uses a first-person narrative that incorporates many of the author's own life experiences.
Dickens came from the lower echelons of society, and both his grandfather and grandmother worked as servants in Lord Crewe's house for a long time. His father, John, was a naval quartermaster, and when Dickens was twelve, he was unable to pay his debts and took his wife and children to live with him in the MarshallSi Debtors' Prison.
Dickens was working as a child labourer at the Warren Black Shoe Polish Workshop on the Banks of the Thames, and his sister Fanny, who was two years older than him, was studying at the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the only one in the family who did not live in prison.
After his father's release from prison, Dickens attended Wellington School for a time, but soon dropped out of school permanently due to family poverty, and at the age of fifteen entered a law firm as an apprentice. He later learned shorthand and was hired by the London Civil Bar Council as a trial recorder.
From 1831 to 1832, Dickens served as a parliamentary correspondent for the Parliamentary Mirror and the True Sun. These experiences helped him to embark on the path of writing later on. He had been educated in school for less than four years in his lifetime, and his success depended on his genius, hard work, and hard work. In 1836, Dickens finally became famous for his novel Pickwick, when he was only twenty-four years old.
In 1848, Fanny died of tuberculosis, and her death made Dickens very sad, because among the many brothers and sisters, only they were very close in talent and interest. Both of them had outstanding acting talents, and in their childhood, they accompanied their father to the Mitre Hotel in Rochester, standing at a large table and performing songs and dances, which won the admiration of the people.
After Fanny's death, Dickens wrote a seven-thousand-word memoir about their troubled childhood together. Behind Dickens, his friend Foster first revealed Dickens's early years, the novel, to the public in The Biography of Dickens, based on this recollection.
Dickens wrote this memoir in preparation for an autobiographical novel. The protagonist of his novel took many names before he finally thought of "David Copperfield". Foster listened and applauded at once, because the abbreviation of the name D.C. So the name of the protagonist of the novel was fixed.
