No notes or highlighting. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> IN this book I have concentrated mainly on the period from July to October, 1849, when Charles Dickens was writing at Bonchurch in the Isle of Wight Chapters XII to XVIII of the novel David Copperfield. The material in it is based on an article of mine, "Dickens at Bonchurch", which was published in The Dickensian (May, 1965), but has here been revised and expanded, and one or two new theories, concerning the originals of characters and scenes in Dickens's novel, have been proffered. Dickens's earlier short visit to Alum Bay in September, 1838, is also men- tioned briefly, as well as the possibility of a later one in 1860. The short biography, following the preface, may be useful to those wishing to orientate themselves in regard to the chief events and dates which are relevant to this book. In order to put the visit to Bonchurch in 1849, and the work done there, in perspective, I have included an introductory chapter. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers Batch-FM417-G-9614
