Inhalt: The Novel of Development (or "Bildungsroman") is a literary genre of perennial fascination for both writers and readers. Tracing the protagonist's transition from youth into adulthood, it allows authors to explore fundamental questions about human identity, the self's relationship with others and society at large and the disillusionments that accompany the process of maturation. In this seminar, we will explore how and to what end authors across literary history have appropriated and adapted this genre.
