education novel

education novel

      a genre popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in which a plan of education was set forth for a young person. The education novel was similar to the Bildungsroman but less well developed in terms of characters and plot and narrower in scope. Examples include Henry Brooke (Brooke, Henry)'s The Fool of Quality and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Rousseau, Jean-Jacques)'s Émile.
