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. 606 $aBildungsromans$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction 615 0$aBildungsromans$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction. 676 $a809.41 700 $aJeffers$b Thomas L.$f1946-$0474766 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784214203321 996 $aApprenticeships$93858696 997 $aUNINA
