Description
David Copperfield and Great Expectations are among Charles Dickens's most famous novels. In both books, the hero tells the vivid and absorbing tale of his education by life, presents a rich range of characters and scenes, and tackles profound moral, social and psychological themes. Part I of this essential study: • provides lucid and penetrating analyses of key passages • discusses the crucial topics of patriarchy, class, obsession, eccentricity, death, breakdown and recovery • summarizes the methods of analysis and offers suggestions for further work. Part II supplies key background material, including: • an account of Dickens's life and works • a survey of historical, cultural and literary contexts • samples of significant criticism. Also featuring a valuable Further Reading section, this volume provides readers with the critical and analytical skills which will enable them to enjoy and explore both novels for themselves.
