Charles Dickens once referred to his novel David Copperfield as his "favorite child." Perhaps more than any other Dickens novel, David Copperfield is a drama of memory and imagination, involving a relationship between author and text that is complex and even therapeutic. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School. These texts presents critical essays that reflect a variety of schools of criticism on the most important 20th-century criticism on major works from The Odyssey through modern literature. Each volume also contains an introductory essay by Harold Bloom, critical biographies, notes on the contributing critics, a chronology of the author's life, and an index.
