Reviews
"Castle teases out some of the differences between English and Irish forms of the Bildungsroman, and he also explores the reconception of Bildung for women in the fiction of the modernist period."-- Comparative Literature Studies, "Argues . . . that early modernist novels such as Jude the Obscure belong to the longer history of Bildung even if they apparently reject its nineteenth-century employment."-- Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900, "A masterful, revisionary study of an important genre's transformation that is also a study of literary modernism's emergence and character. . . . Anyone who writes in the future about the Bildungsroman of the long twentieth century will have to take Castle's detailed readings and his theoretically inflected argument into account."-- James Joyce Quarterly, "Succeeds in reconsidering key modernist texts as complex representations of the Bildung process."-- English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920

Synopsis
The Bildungsroman is a genre novel whose territory is well traveled, that of a young and often alienated hero on the cusp of maturity, intent on discovering who he or she is and being true to that identity. The German word Bildung refers to forming and shaping, and the first Bildungsromane in 18th-century Germany focused on the hero's self-formation. Modernists such as Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf adopted and reinvigorated the Bildungsroman form as a means of telling stories about longing and transition. With this first major study of the historical context of the English and Irish Bildungsroman, Gregory Castle revisits the genre with a special interest in self-development and identity, as well as the viability of the classical concept of Bildung in the modernist era. Drawing on German philosopher Theodor Adorno's theory of negative dialectics (which values the negative moment as a potentially critical force), Castle demonstrates the ongoing relevance of the Bildungsroman form and its powerful capacity for social and cultural critique. Its vitality is due in large measure to its ability to represent, in a self-consciously critical fashion, the complex and contradictory modes of self-development that have arisen in late modernity. The author contends that modernism managed to rehabilitate one of the most conventional genres in the history of literature. Examining such works as D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers and James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man , Castle provides a significant scholarly contribution to literary criticism that will be of interest to students and scholars of modernism, the modernist novel, and Irish studies, as well as the problem of education and class in English and Irish literature., With this first major study of the historical context of the English and Irish Bildungsroman, Gregory Castle revisits the genre with a special interest in self-development and identity, as well as the viability of the classical concept of Bildung in the modernist era. Drawing on German philosopher Theodor Adorno's theory of negative dialectics, Castle demonstrates the ongoing relevance of the Bildungsroman form and its powerful capacity for social and cultural critique.
