'… an important contribution to modern scholarship on the Bildungsroman. While it will introduce students to the conventional scholarly debates about the Bildungsroman's historical development and its important variants, it will likely do more to expand our sense of the genre's temporal origins, national boundaries, and types of protagonists. The work might even convince its readers that the Bildungsroman is not merely a hegemonic institution increasingly out of step with modernity. Rather, Graham wants to show us that it is also a category of fiction with subversive critiques of sexism, racism, imperialism, and homophobia at its core, and thus still relevant to and alive in our developing century.' Jordan Bunzel, EUP Journal
