English teacher Liz Kelsey is back in the house to discuss David Copperfield. The most autobiographical of all of Dickens' works, David Copperfield is a blend of truth and fiction. The novel offers up an early example of the found or unconventional family as well as an array of eccentric characters who are very supportive and happy. There is also a clash in the representation of nasty predators and hyper caregivers that keeps the plot moving along.

The novella was was written when Jane was a teen and published after her death. It centres around the life of  beautiful, racy widow Lady Susan Vernon who is often described as the most accomplished coquette in England. Liz explores why Jane Austen is so popular today and discusses modern print and movie adaptations that have contributed to the author's endurance in the literary canon.
