38 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +7 coming-of age novel Bildungsroman
Explanation: Bildungsroman A novel of development or self-fulfilment, which traces a character's progress from childhood to maturity. The use of the German term recognises the importance of Goethe's novel "Wilhelm Meister" (1786), which was an immensely influential work for many 19th century British writers. The bildungsroman became a very popular genre in the Victorian Period. Its masterpieces include Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre" and Thomas Hardy's "Jude the Obscure'. The influence of the genre can be clearly seen in later fiction such as James Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'. http://www.millenniumlibrary.co.uk/millib/reference/notes.ph...
