Abstract:

The theme of motherhood and mother figures constitutes a core pillar in the novel “David Copperfield”. Relying on the context in which the different deictic expressions of person, social, time and place construct the language used to portray mother figures, a pragma-discoursal study can best fit in the interpretation of literary texts. This article aims at identifying specifically the social deixis mostly used by the mother figures Clara Copperfield, Clara Peggotty and Miss Betsey in Charles Dickens’ novel “David Copperfield” and how they determine mothers’ roles in relation to David’s life fr

Abstract:

No one has ever accused Dickens of being a philosopher. But David Copperfield offers an opportunity for thinking philosophically about naming. Unlike the characters unconscious of their satirical names in Dickens's earlier novels, the characters in David Copperfield feel the tension of naming and explore with the author what their names are for. They find, of course, that the order of names-the hierarchy of terms by which they refer to and address one another-betrays rank and sentiment, power and desire. But they find more than that a name expresses and enforces the will of the namer. Names in

The article describes Russian children’s adaptations of the Charles Dickens novel “David Copperfield”. The purpose of this paper is to find out whether the approach to its translation changed at different historical periods — during the Czarist-era, under the Soviet government and in contemporary Russia. In order to achieve this goal, we have analyzed those “David Copperfield” translations into Russian addressed to the younger audience that are accessible nowadays. The text has been envisaged from the translation studies, as well as philological and culture studies point of view. The study has

Margaret atwood's narrator in Bodily Harm, reminiscing about her childhood, says: “I learned to listen for what wasn't being said, because it was usually more important than what was” (55). Making a similar point, in The History of Sexuality Foucault writes that “There is not one but many silences, and they are an integral part of the strategies that underlie and permeate discourses” (1: 27). If we read David Copperfield in this way — listening to the silences, as well as attending closely to what is being said — the narrative which emerges from the surface bildungsroman is very different from

Andrew Willson, “Vagrancy and the Fantasy of Unproductive Writing in David Copperfield” (pp. 192–217) Recent criticism of Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield (1849–50) has often drawn attention to the eponymous character’s rise to respectable and productive professional authorship. This essay, however, considers the fact that one of David’s most formative experiences, the flight from London to Dover that removes him from the blacking warehouse and sets him on the path to a middle-class life, casts him as an instance of the most disrespectable, unproductive member of Victorian society: the vagr

The paper is an attempt at identifying (auto)biographical data in Dickens’novel “David Copperfield”, with a view to shaping the man behind the novel, the writer who corresponded with his readers, but also the child who visited his father in the debtors’ prison, briefly, the man in relation to the age he lived in.

ABSTRACT Using the exemplary pair of Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield from a recent Dickens Universe conference, and Frances E.W. Harper’s Iola Leroy, this article explores what it might mean to read two novels from different traditions “together.” After identifying models of “togetherness” from comparison to what she calls “defamiliarization,” Michie looks at how both novels defamiliarize the traditional (white, female-centered) marriage plot. While David Copperfield challenges the neat binary structure of the white female marriage plot, Iola Leroy, with its representation of the violence

Abstract:

This article advocates reading for moods, moments in literary texts that draw attention to textual forms conditioning the experiential parameters of narrative. Drawing from Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s reception aesthetics, I demonstrate how the normative critical history of Charles Dickens’s 1850 novel David Copperfield is a product of the novel’s delimitation of its horizons of expectation and structuration of contingency. I then link these delimited horizons to the accepted austerity politics of academic labor today.

Whereas many critics have illustrated the androgynous nature of the male novelist with a focus on his feminine traits, this article will show that his masculinity is crucial to his authorial identities and serves to foster his professionaliza
