The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunder stone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account), commonly known as David Copper field, is a novel in the bildungsroman genre by Charles Dickens, narrated by the eponymous David Copper field, detailing his adventures in his journey from infancy to maturity. It was first published as a serial in 1849-50, and as a book in 1850. David Copper field is also an autobiographical novel: "a very complicated weaving of truth and invention", with events following Dickens's own life. Of the books he wrote, it was his favourite. Called "the triumph of the art of Dickens", it marks a turning point in his work, separating the novels of youth and those of maturity. At first glance, the work is modelled on 18th-century "personal histories" that were very popular, like Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews or Tom Jones, but David Copper field is a more carefully structured work. It begins, like other novels by Dickens, with a bleak picture of childhood in Victorian England, followed by young Copper field's slow social ascent, as he painfully provides for his aunt, while continuing his studies. Dickens wrote without an outline, unlike his previous novel, Dombey and Son. Some aspects of the story were fixed in his mind from the start, but others were undecided until the serial publications were underway. The novel has a primary theme of growth and change, but Dickens also satirises many aspects of Victorian life. These include the plight of prostitutes, the status of women in marriage, class structure, the criminal justice system, the quality of schools and the employment of children in factories.
