Armando's Tale of Charles Dickens

In "Armando's Tale of Charles Dickens," the acclaimed writer and comedian Armando Iannucci sets out to celebrate the enduring genius of one of Britain's greatest authors. By focusing on Dickens's most autobiographical novel, David Copperfield, Iannucci delves beyond the familiar myths surrounding this national institution to uncover the qualities of Dickens's work that remain remarkably relevant today - his bold use of language and remarkable character creation. Through a deeply personal argument, Iannucci makes a compelling case for rereading Dickens as much for what he reveals about ourselves in the 21st century as our ancestors in the 19th.
