English Faculty Recommended Reads: Wk...
As many people find themselves looking for inspiration about what to do during extended periods at home, what better than read the books you’ve had on your list forever… If you already have a pile of novels ready, or your Kindle full of titles and fully charged, that’s great. However, if you are looking for an idea, we are going to offer a weekly classic suggestion for your consideration.
This week:
‘David Copperfield’ (1850) by Charles Dickens
Often called his masterpiece, and described by the author himself as his ‘favourite child.’ The novel is written in the first person and describes the life of David Copperfield from infancy to maturity. He makes friends and encounters enemies, some of whom may sound familiar, such as Peggotty, Mr Micawber and Uriah Heep.
