Summary: "For the next thirty-three years-until his death in 1870-scarcely a year passed that did not see the publication of one or more books by Charles Dickens. As for David Copperfield, the author's favorite of all his writings, you will find a key to its characters in the entertaining essay by John T. Winterich that follows this Preface. Meanwhile, you will discover a fairly obvious clue to the book's intimate relationship to the soul of Charles Dickens by comparing the hero's initials with the author's.--" From the Publisher's Preface.
