This book explores the ways in which a range of recent American novelists have
handled the genre of the coming-of-age novel, or the
Bildungsroman.
Novels of this
genre characteristically dramatise the vicissitudes of growing up and the trials and
tribulations of young adulthood, often presented through depictions of immediate
family relationships and other social structures.
This book considers a variety of different American cultures (in terms of race, class
and gender) and a range of contemporary coming-of-age novels, so that aesthetic
judgements about the fiction might be made in the context of the social history that
fiction represents.
A series of questions are asked:
•
Does the coming-of-age moment in these novels coincide with an interpretation
of the fall of America?
•
What kind of national commentary does it therefore facilitate?
•
Is the
Bildungsroman
a quintessentially American genre?
•
What can it usefully tell us about contemporary American culture?
Although the focus is on the contemporary period, this is placed in the context of
reference to earlier novels and criticism of the genre, as well as historical changes
in the status of the family, and the adolescent within it.
