Abstract
The paper deals with a copy of David Copperfield (now owned by Yale University) that has been made falsely to appear as if it were Dickens’s own copy coming from the shelves in his study. In the paper, I speculate as to the circumstances under which the copy was made falsely to bear that appearance. Was such making the result of an honest, but mistaken, belief or was it an attempt to deceive?
Keywords: Charles Dickens, David Copperfield, false association copy
