- Definition(s)
- A type of novel where the protagonist is initiated into adulthood through knowledge, experience, or both, often by a process of disillusionment. Understanding comes after the dropping of preconceptions, a destruction of a false sense of security, or in some way the loss of innocence. Some of the shifts that take place are these:
* ignorance to knowledge
* innocence to experience
* false view of world to correct view
* idealism to realism
* immature responses to mature responses
Examples:
* Jane Austen Northanger Abbey
* Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
* Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage VirtualSalt - Robert Harris

- "O romance de formação é emblemático do Século das Luzes. Surgido na Europa do século XVIII, o subgênero teve seu apogeu neste e no século XIX, confundindo seu período de maturidade com boa parte da vida do romance moderno antes que o gênero começasse a ser desconstruído. Com o foco centrado no desenvolvimento da vida do protagonista e sua consciente adaptação ao mundo burguês, o Bildungsroman tomou formas semelhantes em vários países - inclusive na poderosa Inglaterra de então". - Universia by Ana Resende
