Charles Dickens “David Copperfield. (1848) The Making of a Life.

Send us Fan MailToday, I look at what Charles Dickens himself called his “favourite child; David Copperfield. This is Dickens turning the pen towards interpreting his own life. It is a redemption story where childhood becomes the soil in which the soul can grow in grace, and where the search for identity becomes a spiritual pilgrimage.This is Dickens at his most personal and his most vulnerable, and because of that, it is also Dickens at his most universal. We read David Copperfield not simply to follow the life of one young man, but to recognise something of our own story, maybe our own wounds, our longings, our mistakes, our hopes, all woven into his.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Journey Podcast (A Verse by Verse Study through the whole Bible: https://thebiblejourneydailypodcast.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.
