Bildungsroman

Filed under 2008-09

Bildungsroman

The German word Bildungsroman means “a novel of formation”: that is, a novel of someone’s growth from childhood to maturity.

A kind of subset of the Bildungsroman is the Kunstlerroman, the story of an artist’s growth to maturity. Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a famous example.

It’s easy to find examples that don’t exactly fit the mold, but still involve elements of the Bildungsroman. About a third of Jane Eyre, for instance, is concerned with her childhood.

Today is Tuesday

Filed under 2008-09

So, today I worked on Titus Andronicus some more and I believe that I am getting a better understanding of the plot. I have no idea when it is due but I am assuming it’s soon. It’s a pity.
