I am writing a paper on the social criticism in David Copperfield and it has been awhile since I read the book. I do not have time to re-read the book, I have read the overviews but I am a little stumped and don't know where to start. Can anyone help?

   Dear FallenAngel ,

If you haven't enough time to read through this story , it may be O.K. to do with a few chapters .

Now I'm reading it , but only several sections so far .
With your paper on the social criticism in David Copperfied , I would like to show you a few paragraphs from chapter eleven , "a petition to the House of Commonms, praying for an alteration in the law of imprisonment for debt .... , The peopel's representatives in Parliament assembled, " your petitioners therefore humbly approach your honourable house ,... , I wonder how many of these people were wanting in the crowd that used to come filing before me
...." were should be good examples of social criticism .
I think Dickens showed his objection against the social condition in London at that time in "David Copperfield ".

What do you think of "caul "advertised for sale : only one solitary bidding from an attorney .
It seems to be strange and unusual business for us , including Dickens (?)

I hope this comment will be helpful for you .
I look forward to your reply someday soon .
Thank you .

Check David Copperfield as an example of the Victorian socio-critical novel, by Sebastian Lehner, and Dickens Resources
