all that David Copperfield kind of crap

Question

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and "all that David Copperfield kind of crap", but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
?
The only thing above I don't understand/comprehend is "all that David Copperfield kind of crap." What does that mean?
