This book explores contemporary transformations of the female Bildungsroman, showing that the intersection of the genre and gender brought to critical attention in the context of second wave feminism remains of equal importance in the era of postfeminism. The female Bildung narrative has acquired an important position in twentieth - and twenty-first century literature through its continuing depiction of female self-discovery and emancipation as a process of negotiating the traditional divisions of female and male roles in relation to the private and public spaces. Recognizing the seminal contr

Un double intérêt pour les rapports musique/littérature et pour le concept de Bildung a déterminé la comparaison, dans le cadre de cet ouvrage, de dix romans de formation de langues française et allemande qui se répartissent symétriquement du milieu du XIXème siècle à nos jours: "Der arme Spielmann" de Franz Grillparzer et "Consuelo" de George Sand; "Gertrud" de Hermann Hesse et "Jean-Christophe" de Romain Rolland; "Doktor Faustus" de Thomas Mann et "La Pêche miraculeuse" de Guy de Pourtalès; "Der Untergeher" de Thomas Bernhard, "Porporino" de Dominique Fernandez, "Die Klavierspielerin" de Elfriede Jelinek et "Tous les matins du monde" de Pascal Quignard. Cette étude de synthèse tend à dégager, au regard d'oeuvres qui présentent une réelle densité 'musico-littéraire', l'évolution et la spécificité du 'roman de la formation musicale', catégorie littéraire qui est définie par référence aux notions allemandes de Bildungsroman et de Künstlerroman. La culture musicale de romanciers - dont la formation en ce domaine a servi pour certains de propédeutique à l'écriture - est en effet l'objet d'une transposition littéraire qui confronte le lecteur à la problématique fondamentale des rapports de la musique et du langage. La revendication du statut d''écrivain-musicien', à laquelle s'ajoute l'intertextualité particulière que crée dans ces romans le jeu des références et des citations musicales, invitent à réfléchir notamment au rapprochement analogique des structures musicales et des structures littéraires.

By examining the works of George Eliot, Carlyle, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, George Meredith, George Gissing, Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, and D.H. Lawrence, as well as several post-World War II novels, Argyle explores the Goethean ideal of Bildung and the Bildungsroman (self-culture and the apprenticeship novel), Heinrich Heine's anti-philistinism, music, the Tübingen higher criticism, Schopenhauer's and Nietzsche's philosophies, Prussianism, and avant-garde culture in the Weimar Republic. To establish the status of these allusions in the public conversation, Argyle moves between literary and extra-literary contexts, including biographical material about the authors as well as information from contemporary literary works, periodical articles, and other documentation that indicates the understanding authors could assume from their readers. Her methodology combines theories of allusion and intertextuality with reception theory.

Although some of the most distinguished German novels written since about 1770 are generally considered to be Bildungsromane, the term Bildungsroman is all too frequently used in English without an awareness of the tradition from which it arose. Professor Swales concentrates on the roles of plot, characterization, and narrative commentary in novels by Wieland, Goethe, Stifter, Keller, Mann, and Hesse. By pointing out that the goal in each work is both elusive and problematic, he suggests a previously unsuspected ironic intent. His analysis adds to our awareness of the potentialities inherent in the novel.Originally published in 1978.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

this volume argues that the künstlerromane of Mary Shelley, Bettine von Arnim, and George Sand offer feminist understandings of history and transcendence that constitute a critique of Romanticism from within.
