Challenges and re-orients current understandings of where the Bildungsroman fits into American literary history The Bildungsroman, a genre of the novel which narrativises youth's development, became one crucial means of configuring the culturally, politically and economically asymmetrical effects of national modernisation and the political ascendance of the United States within the capitalist world-system, circa 1900-1960. The Regional Development argues that during this period, the novel of 'uneven development' rose to salience, led by its protagonist, the 'unfixed youth', whose development within the national-historical time of Americanisation is unsettled by their preoccupation with regional difference; an immobilising entanglement Avery calls American literature's 'regional complex'. This book maps four prominent variations across the Midwest, Northeast, South and Southwest that responded to that uneven development, fragmenting and ultimately denying the Bildungsroman's consolidation into a coherent nationalist form. Tamlyn Avery is a Lecturer in American Studies at The University of Queensland, Australia.
