È la storia di un giovane che ripercorre la sua vita, dall'infanzia infelice alla scoperta della vocazione letteraria e al successo come romanziere. Orfano di padre, attraverso mille difficoltà, David si realizzerà senza dimenticare gli amici che lo hanno aiutato e accompagnato. "Figlio prediletto" di Dickens, in virtù dell'ampiezza degli spunti autobiografici, è caratterizzato da una vasta costellazione di personaggi minori, tutti, come sempre nelle opere dello scrittore inglese, indimenticabili: il crudele patrigno Murdstone e la sua degna sorella, l'amorevole governante Peggotty, il compagno Steerforth, la spigolosa zia, il raccapricciante Uriah Heep e il tragicomico Mr Micawber, vero gioiello della letteratura caricaturale.

Published in June 1848, less than a year before her death, Anne Bronte's second (and last) novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, is the somber account of the breakdown of a marriage in the face of alcoholism and infidelity. The novel enjoyed a modest success that led its publisher, theunscrupulous T.C. Newby, to issue a "Second Edition" less than two months later. The present edition, which completes the Clarendon Edition of the Novels of the Brontes, offers a text based on the collation of the first edition with the second. The introduction details the work's composition andearly printing history, including its first publication in America; and the text is fully annotated. Appendices record the substantive variants in the first English and American editions, and discuss the author's belief in the doctrine of universal salvation.

"'Every day, the Sheriff robs the ordinary people with high taxes, ' Robin said to the other outlaws. 'We should rob the Sheriff in return. But we will not rob him because we want to be rich. We will use the money to help the poor. We will not harm women, children or honest men. We will right wrongs when we can and we will bring hope to the people when we can. We will live outside the law because the law is only for rich men. We will fight these rich men's unfair laws.' "--Back cover
