1862 The Personal History of David Copperfield
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
An early edition of Charles Dickens's 'David Copperfield', which was first published in 1850.
This novel is considered by many to be Dickens' masterpiece, and Dickens' himself referred to the book as being 'his favourite child'. As it was written in the middle of his career, it has been considered to be the turning point of his novels, and with it you can see the separation between his novels of youth and maturity.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, vignette title page, and thirty-eight plates. Collated, complete.
Undated; dated 1862 via the National Trust Libraries and Edinburgh University.
Lacking the final text leaf.
An early edition of one of Dickens's most celebrated novels.
