Annotated bibliographies are a mix of reference work, book biography and generalogy, and documentation of cultural reception and appropriation.

Much of the material in this bibliography, particularly that concerning editions and adaptations, updates the 1981 annotated bibliography...and includes a few earlier omissions. But the greatly expanded and often freshly reconsidered criticism in books, dissertations, and articles signals an increased and greatly varied scholarly interest that takes approaches and supplies new contexts for consideration of the work....[John] Peck notes the surge of interest in David Copperfield and remarks that 'Suddenly, almost from nowhere, it came to be seen as one of the central texts of the nineteenth century.' -Richard J.
