Departing from the father of the prototype of the genre, Goethe, the authors trace imperative pathways to its French, British, and Italian counterparts, examining spiritual and female Bildungsromane. A wide-ranging analysis provides fresh insights into the genre through comparative analyses of Bildungsromane both diatopically and diachronically, while critical analysis of novels such as Voltaire's Candide, Charlotte Bront's Jane Eyre, Charles Dickens's David Copperfield, Collodi's Pinocchio, Aleramo's Una donna present new readings of the characters, plots and purposes of the most famous European novels.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Giovanna Summerfield is Associate Professor of Italian and French at Auburn University, USA. <p/>Lisa Downward is Assistant Professor of Italian at Marist College, New York, USA.</p>
