[In Progress] David Copperfield through 21st Century Eyes with Juliette Wells | Virtual Course

Date / Time

  • May 28, 2024
    6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Barbara Kingsolver’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Demon Copperhead takes inspiration from Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield in order to tell the gripping story of a boy growing up in Appalachia who is deeply affected by the opioid epidemic. Kingsolver has emphasized in interviews that you don’t need to read David Copperfield in order to understand Demon Copperhead. You’ll appreciate Kingsolver’s artistry even more, however, if you first acquaint yourself with, or refresh your memory of, Dickens’s beloved Bildungsroman (a novel that focuses on its main character’s education and development).
