David Copperfield

1952LZ369142121379FZFine Second Edition and was leather-bound and published / with an Introduction by Norman Collins. For many lovers of the author's works DAVID COPPERFIELD ranks as the finest of his writings. "Of all my books" Dickens declared "I like this the best." With an Introduction by NORMAN COLLINS AND GENERAL EDITOR: G.F.MAINE. George Frederick Maine is a Scottish author and editor. British Literature Theology. Condition: Very Good: VERY GOOD. Light rubbing wear to cover spine and page edges. Leather Bound. Author Charles Dickens 1812-1870 the greatest English novelist of the Victorian age. HISTORY: If David Copperfield has come to be Dickens's "darling" it is because it is the most autobiographical of all his novels. Some of the most painful episodes of his life are barely disguised; others appear indirectly termed "oblique revelations" by Paul Davis. However Dickens himself wrote to Forster that the book is not a pure autobiography but "a very complicated weaving of truth and invention". Between 1845 and 1848 Dickens wrote fragments of autobiography excerpts of which he showed to his wife and John Forster. Then in 1855 he made an attempt at revising it. This was a failure because as he tells his first love Maria Beadnell now Mrs Winter when he began dealing with his youthful love for her "I lost courage and burned the rest". Paul Schlicke points out that in fact not all the pages have gone through the flames and that as Dickens began writing David Copperfield some pages were unearthed. Proof of this is found in the eleventh chapter of the novel: "I begin Life on my own Account and don't like it" where the story of Dickens's experience at the Warren Shoe Factory is told almost verbatim with the only change "Mr Micawber" instead of "my father". John Forster also published substantial extracts relating to this period in Dickens's biography including a paragraph devoted to Wellington House College which corresponds with the second stage of childhood recounted in the novel. Thus Dickens looks back on his painful past already evoked by the martyrdom of Little Paul in Dombey and Son though voiced by an omniscient narrator in that earlier novel. Until Forster published his biography of Dickens in 1872–1874 no one knew that Dickens had worked in a factory as a child not even his wife until Dickens wrote it down and gave the papers to Forster in 1847.The first generations of readers did not know this part of David Copperfield's story began like an incident in the author's life.

Charles Dickens novel; Alec Guinness playwright starringABAA

Great Expectations Original script for the 1939 play

1939146992N.p.: N.p. 1939. Draft script for the 1939 play. Carbon typescript on onionskin. With the name of actress May Hallatt in holograph ink on front wrapper and holograph annotations in pencil throughout. We could not verify her involvement in the 1939 production although it seems reasonable to infer from this script that the prolific stage and screen actress indeed had been possibly as stand-in for the role of Miss Havisham as many of the annotations in the script relate to that character. In 1939 during a period of unemployment Alec Guinness with the aid of his wife artist playwright and actress Merula Sylvia Salaman began writing a stage adaptation of the 1861 Charles Dickens classic. Upon completion Guinness shared the manuscript with friends who decided to form an actor's cooperative the Actor's Company with the intention of putting on the production. It was also at this time September 1939 that Great Britain declared war on Germany commencing World War II. The play premiered in December 1939 under the direction of George Devine at Rudolf Steiner Hall. Marius Goring performed the role of Pip with Martita Hunt as Miss Havisham Yvonne Mitchell as the young Estella Roy Emerton as Magwitch and Vera Poliakoff as the adult Estella. Guinness and Salaman sitting opposite one another on stage were the narrators as well as performing the roles of Herbert Pocket and Biddy respectively. The play received favorable reviews particularly from Sunday Times critic James Agate and did reasonably well but the strain of the war prevented it from moving to a larger theatre and the production as well as the Actor's Company went bust. The following year a new production of Guinness' "Great Expectations" began but was then abandoned when Guinness refused to take part. Guinness credits the play for having drawn him from the stage onto film. Upon Salaman's insistence an actress friend of hers Kay Walsh and her husband then thirty-one-year-old film editor David Lean saw the production which directly inspired Lean to take the story to the screen and make the classic 1946 film with Guinness and Hunt reviving their stage roles for the screen.
