Journeys of Formation: The Spanish American "Bildungsroman"

Yolanda A Doub

4.9/5 (19561 ratings)

Description:Ideal for students of modern Latin American literature, "Journeys of Formation: The Spanish American Bildungsroman" offers a lucid introduction to the "Bildungsroman" as a genre before revealing how the journey motif works as both a plot-forming device and as a means of characterization in several of the most canonical Spanish American "Bildungsromane." In the process, the author demonstrates the overlooked importance of the travel motif in this genre. Although present in the vast majority of "Bildungsromane," if the journey is discussed at all by critics it tends to be in superficial terms. The author contends that no discussion of the Spanish American novel of formation would be complete without an exploration of travel. Yolanda A. Doub articulates the role of travel as a catalyst in the formation process of young male and female protagonists by examining in detail six representative novels from three different countries and time periods - from Argentina: Ricardo Guiraldess "Don Segundo Sombra" (1926) and Roberto Arlts "El juguete rabioso" (1926); from Peru: Jose Maria Arguedass "Los rios profundos" (1958) and Julio Ramon Ribeyros "Cronica de San Gabriel" (1960); and from Mexico: Rosario Castellanoss "Balun Canan" (1957) and Elena Poniatowskas "La -Flor de Lis-" (1988)."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
