The Literary Image of Man in the Process of Becoming: Variations of the Bildungsroman Genre in English and American Literature

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article briefly outlines a history of Bildungsroman and provides an overview of theories of the genre and a critical assessment of them. It argues that the genre, notwithstanding some critical opinions to the contrary, is still a very potent literaryform despite the fact that it came into existence in a particular historical and literary situation of eighteenth-century Germany. The genre's flexibility allowed for variations and modifications that ensured its contemporary viability in Anglo-Americanliteratures. While the concern with the individual's emergence from an immature state of childhood to adult maturity, and with individual's socialization remaining the core focus of the Bildungsroman, studies of the form have lately become involved in the discussions of ethnic and racial identification, of biculturality, of the situation of an individual in a liminal position. This makes Bildungsroman a genre especially important in contemporary American literature.
