Bildungsroman
Please exlain how you concluded that Atlas Shrugged is a bildungsroman. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

In the cited review (a link to the archive of the article on JStor) the novel is described as a chronicle of Dagny's moral and philosophical growth, as she comes into contact with more of Rand's "Great Men". It was also classified as a Bildungsroman in a literature class on 'Novels of Philosophy' (though I cannot cite that).

Do I need to attach more citations or links?

What about non-scholarly links (such as what type of fiction the book is considered on the market, by publishers?)
