At the heart of this study is the radical bildungsroman, a genre that subverts dominant narratives of individual formation. Broad in scope, Revolutionary Subjects explores the work of Balestrini, Chernyshevsky, Ding Ling, Lessing, Nizan, Sartre, Weiss, Wright, and many others. These novels challenge conventional ideas of selfhood and belonging, presenting new ways to imagine the self in relation to collective struggle and global solidarity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Kohlmann is Professor of English at the University of Regensburg (Germany), working on the relationship between literature and politics.
