The focus of our proposed panel is the search for what we might call a national bildungsroman in the nineteenth century. This search evokes the stories of the many Americans denied an adulthood and a fulfilling future and calls attention to the exclusivities and particularities that adhere in definitions of an ideal citizen for an ideal state. Articulating attempts at a national bildungsroman also involves looking beyond national and hemispheric borders for points of comparison and distinction. We are particularly interested in transatlantic and transnational approaches to the question of a national subjectivity and its narrative of emplotment.
