Editor's Note:
The idea that a young person can become adept in the art of life by passing through definite stages, until at last he becomes a master, lives at the core of the apprenticeship novel. Recognized among German critics as the «Bildungsroman», this type of novel has yet to be adequately defined on a grand scale for the English reader despite nearly two centuries of its development. In an attempt to describe the apprenticeship novel as a modifiable type in Western literature, Mr. Shaffner combines a theoretical stance with analyses of three concrete examples drawn from over a hundred potential candidates.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access The Apprenticeship Novel: A Study of the «Bildungsroman» as a Regulative Type in Western Literature with a Focus on Three Classic Representatives by ... Maugham, and Mann (German Studies in America) by Randolph P. Shaffner. Crafted for the discerning reader.
