Jeffers1st ed. 2005.New York, N.Y. Palgrave Macmillan20051 online resource (256 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-349-52933-8 1-4039-6607-9 Includes bibliographical references (p. [223]-231) and index.Novels about growing up have long been loved by ordinary readers and analyzed, sometimes with more heat than light, by scholars. This book respects the interests of ordinary readers while clarifying and frequently resolving the moral, psychological, social, and occasionally religious coming-of-age dilemmas that scholars have wrestled with. Focusing on Goethe's Wilhelm Meister, Dickens's David Copperfield, James's What Maisie Knew, Forster's The Longest Journey, Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, and Santayana's The Last Puritan, Jeffers writes in a fresh, engaging style meant to give criticism a liveliness and even brilliance it has in recent decades often lacked.BildungsromansHistory and criticismFictionElectronic books.BildungsromansHistory and criticism.Fiction.809.41Jeffers Thomas L.1946-474766MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451082503321Apprenticeships2014152UNINA
