"wilhelm Meister" Two Song With German Traditional "education Novel",

Bildungsroman and Erziehungsroman are German terms signifying"novel of formation"or"novel of education". This kind of novel was started from Enlightenmental period. The subject of these novels is the development of the protagonist's mind and character, in the passage from childhood through varied experiences ---- and often through a spiritual crisis ---- into maturity, which usually involves recognition of one's identity and role in the world. The mode was begun by Goethe's Wilheim Meister. And was recognized as a special form of German literature.The thesis is made up of three parts: The cultural background of the rise of German Bildungsroman; Wilheim Meister and the thematic paradigm of German Bildungsroman; Wilheim Meister and the"poetic realism"problem of German Bildungsroman.
