David Copperfield, the ‘favourite child’ amongst Dickens’s fictional offspring, is the novel that most strikingly dramatises the issue of how far childhood may be regarded as a virtue or a defect. It is also the first novel to trace in considerable psychological detail the development of the child into an adult.KeywordsLunatic AsylumEarly ChapterCoherent IdeaMetaphorical LandscapeOliver TwistThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
