Descrição
Resumo:The goal of this article is to address the interrelation between the epistolary genre and the Bildungsroman in Hyperion, by Friedrich Hölderlin. Its features as an epistolary novel are consistent with its characteristics as a Bildungsroman, so the epistolary genre is justified. Thus, the element of intimacy, the need for an interlocutor, and the fragmentary treatment of time proper to epistolary novels are functional to the formation of the protagonist and the reader and to the handling of time inherent in Bildungsromane, respectively. This article discusses both genres (theoretically and specifically in the novel) and the abovementioned features in Hyperion.
