Written ten years after the publication of “The Years of Apprenticeship”, Jean Paul’s novel still contains elements of illustrated literature that send the reader back to literary models of the past, but these are mixed with transgressive procedures that outline a new form, very close to Schlegelian projections of what the romantic novel should be. The result of this lack of definition is a hybrid work, in which materials of a heterogeneous nature and belonging to different stages do not manage to merge in a harmonious way. The aim of this work is to analyse the way in which Walt and Vult, or The Twins dialogues with the Goethean Bildungsroman, and what strategies its author uses to express a more ambiguous and obscure vision of Bildung. \n\n  La edad del pavo (1805), de Jean Paul, puede ser leída como una respuesta al Wilhelm Meister (1795/1796), como la obra de un lector irreverente que oscila entre el homenaje y la parodia. Escrita diez años después de la publicación del Meister, en la novela de Jean Paul se preservan elementos propios de la literatura ilustrada, que reenvían al lector a modelos literarios del pasado, pero estos se mezclan con procedimientos transgresores, que esbozan una nueva forma, muy cercana a las proyecciones schlegelianas acerca de lo que debía ser la novela romántica. El resultado de esta indeterminación es una obra que esboza una estética de la transición, que se verifica también en una serie de motivos literarios ligados al concepto de lo In between. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar estas imágenes de lo In between para considerar el particular modo en el que Jean Paul se posiciona entre medio de dos grandes tendencias literarias: Ilustración y Romanticismo. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9729 10.34096/interlitteras.n2.9729 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9729/8569 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9729/8590 Inter Litteras; Núm. 2 (2020); 62-82 2683-9695 0328-8935 Bildungsroman Enlightenment Romanticism transition Bildungsroman Ilustración Romanticismo transición Jean Paul, Reader of Goethe: Walt and Vult, or The Twins as a Transitional Novel Jean Paul, lector de Goethe: La edad del pavo como Bildungsroman de transición info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=interlit&d=9729_oai
