Maud Martha and the Tradition of the Ethnic Female Bildungsroman

Original language description

Unlike Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry, her only novel Maud Martha has drawn comparably little critical attention. This article places Maud Martha in the tradition of the novel of development or Bildungsroman and discusses how it inhabits the genre and conforms particularly to female and ethnic variations thereof. Set during the 1940s on Chicago's South Side, the novel depicts the difficulties of a young protagonist whose prospects in life are limited by her gender, her color and by poverty. The rich architectural language is woven through with motifs of Maud Martha's ambitions, anger and frustration - feelings that she unflinchingly tries to mask and tame.
