{"product_id":"victorian-fiction-as-a-bildungsroman-petru-golban-9781527538269","title":"Victorian Fiction as a Bildungsroman: Its Flourishing and Complexity","description":"Metaphorically speaking, the nineteenth-century English Bildungsroman, dealing with the principle of identity formation, parallels Victorian fiction as a whole, revealing the completion of its own formation, which began in the eighteenth century. Significantly, the most important and popular Victorian novels are Bildungsromane, in which authors construct or rather reconstruct their own life experiences as formative processes. This book shows that the Bildungsroman has a development history, is a specific literary system, and consists of a thematic and narrative pattern. It details the entrance of this newly established fictional tradition into Victorian culture and literature through Carlyleâ (TM)s threefold literary reception of the novel of formation and its subsequent flourishing and complexity. In this respect, a number of novelistic works are scrutinized, and each faces the question as to whether its thematic and narrative perspectives fit the pattern and shape of the Bildungsroman.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Petru Golban\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527538265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527538269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petru Golban","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518816891135,"sku":"9781527538269","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c04ee4f8-e7ab-4875-98dd-dc096b03f8ec.jpg?v=1778735756","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/victorian-fiction-as-a-bildungsroman-petru-golban-9781527538269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
