This book was originally published in 1997. The Bildungsroman - the story of the development or formation of a young man - is the most famous German contribution to the European novel. Most studies of the Bildungsroman have concentrated on its underlying philosophy; Michael Minden addresses it as literature. He offers detailed readings of some of the best-known novels in the German language, from Goethe to Mann, including Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Agathon, Anton Reiser, Hyperion, Heinrich von Ofterdingen, Der grüne Heinrich, Der Nachsommer, and Der Zauberberg. Looking at the novels from the points of view of gender, subjectivity, and the ideology of the aesthetic, and taking account of the literary theory, Minden uncovers aspects and motifs which subvert traditional ideas of the Bildungsroman and raise questions about the function and status of literature.

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. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

An historical overview of criticism of the Bildungsroman from the late 18th century to the present. This book provides an historical overview of criticism of the Bildungsroman from the late 18th century to the present. Although written for scholars of the German novel it will also be of interest to scholars in other literatures.The genre of the Bildungsroman includes some of the greatest German novels yet its definition is considerably less obvious than imagined by the majority of scholars and students who use the term. The book rejects the notion that criticism seeks to elucidate the timeless values of classics, and moves toward the analysis of the cultural and historical factors that shape the reception of a text, genre, or author in successive generations of readers.

Private Lives in the Public Sphere examines the Bildungsroman in the context of the rapid changes that affected the German literary revolution that made up for its belatedness in its rapidity and scope. The nature and quantity of reading material produced, the social status of the writer, and the reading habits of the public changed dramatically within a few decades. At the beginning of the century the new texts that appeared at the annual book fairs were primarily written in Latin and devoted to theology. By the end of the century the number of new publications each year has increased almost exponentially, with the novel leading the way. This new institution of literature constituted an important part of what J&ürgen Habermas has termed the &"public sphere,&" a forum for public debate in which members of the middle class, although still limited in their direct access to political power, could at least begin to articulate their problems and formulate their hopes. The Bildungsroman emerged during this period. This study focuses on moments of literary self-consciousness in the Bildungsroman as reflections on the rapid transformation of the German literary institution. The novels are viewed as examples of what Patricia Waugh has called &"metafiction,&" that is, &"fictional writing which self-consciously and systematically draws attention to its status as an artifact in order to pose questions about the relationship between fiction and reality.&" By concentrating on the interaction between literary form and institutional context in these novels, it becomes possible to mediate between the extremes of those who would view literature as a mere reflection of historical conditions and those who would maintain the purity of the aesthetic object. Literature in this view neither re-creates reality nor does it escape reality; instead, it transforms reality, and the Bildungsroman is the genre that examines this transformation.

Quick, name a German novelist from the nineteenth century you would rank alongside the great British, American, French and Russian novelists of the same period. Stumped? Don't feel bad--there really were not any world-class novelists writing in German during this period. In his doctoral dissertation (The Castle in the Bildungsroman, Tulane, 1972), Gadway offered an explanation for this lack in terms of the long shadow that was cast in German literature by Goethe's Wilhelm Meister. His dissertation director, Professor Margaret Groben, had this to say of the highly original work: I have, underneath my pleasure in your work, the uneasy feeling that it can't be true, that I cannot have read it carefully enough! Your study gives me a new view of the Bildungsroman and invalidates my idea of why it is no longer possible in its pristine form. That dissertation is reprinted here with a new preface and an appendix that revisits the question Gadway had attempted to answer earlier, but now with a deeper understanding of Goethe's importance, not just to German cultural identity, but, more significantly, for his impassioned critique of scientific reductionism and the attendant mechanical view of nature. Gadway argues that with Wilhelm Meister, the prototypical Bildungsroman, Goethe infused this peculiarly German novel form with an extraliterary moment that became unwieldy in lesser hands. By following the evolution of a striking poetic space that features prominently in the representative novels in this tradition (the castle or castle-like place where the quasi-orphan figure of the Bildungsroman meets one or more foster father figures who mentor him in how to be in the world) Gadway is able to show how the great German novelists of the first half of the twentieth century mined this tradition to make statements about man's place in modern society that are easily misunderstood by readers not familiar with the vocabulary that is peculiar to the universe of discourse in which they are expressed. Approximately 15% of the original dissertation is in German, as the work was intended for expert readers. Because the German portions serve principally to support statements made in English, the non-German speaker may follow the development of the analysis easily enough. The German portions cited in the Appendix, consisting of a 24-page chapter reprinted from a work intended for the general public, are rendered in English by the author.
