There are various type of novel like Historical novel, Gothic novel, psychological novel, Realistic novel, Romantic novel, Picaresque novel and Bildungsroman novel etc.
Here I try to describe Bildungsroman novel-
     It is German term that indicates this is a fictional autobiography concerned with the development of the protagonist's mind, spirit and characters from childhood to adulthood.
          Wilhelm Meister’s apprenticeship by Johann Wolfgang Goethe(1795-96) about a man who lives an empty life as a business and embarks on a journey of self-realization to find happiness is widely considered the first published in Britain after it was translation into English in 1824. The Bildungsroman has many variations within its kind such as


Here I describe Künstlerroman novel, A Künstlerroman meaning 'artist's novel in English is a narrative about growth to maturity. The Kunstlerroman is a type of bildungsroman a novel where the protagonist undergoes an education in which the writer charts the course of an artist undergoing an evolution from nascent stirrings to full artistic voice. Literally Kunstlerroman translates to English as ‘artist' and ‘novel'.
         Kunstlerroman novel Trance its origin to the German romantic translate edition tradition of the 18th century when generation of Writers begin to Rebel against what they believed to be the confining rationalist structure borne of the era of enlightment these writers were drawn to freedom of artistic expression apparent romanticism.
         Different between Bildungsroman novel and Künstleroman novel - this type of novel of artistic development or artist development in the novel while Bildungsroman novel type development in various field like development of novel character era  journey of character, development maturity, development of education included various theme but  Kunstlerroman dealing with one theme like development of artist in the novel. The sub-genre Bildungsroman it is representative literary works like Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship, Zauberberg, The Magic Mountain, Remembrance of Things Past, Lost Illusions, Hucklebery Finn, Great Expectations, Sons and Lovers, Jane Eyre, Bell Jare, Invisible Man etc. are to be examined in terms of their Bildungsroman elements.

The Golden Notebook-
The Golden Notebook is a 1962 novel by Doris Lessing. It, like the two books that followed it, enters the realm of what Margaret Drabble in The Oxford Companion to English Literature  called Lessing's "inner space fiction"; her work that explores mental and societal breakdown. In this novel Anna is protagonist character who she is arist in the novel, she wrote novel it is divided into fifth book– first book Black colour book represents her experience during World war second, second is Red notebook she represents her communists party joining experience, Third is Yellow notebook she represents her everyday life it is like diary, Forth Blue colour note book in this notebook she represents personal journal where she records her memories, dreams, and emotional life.

Novel focus Lily Briscoe painting and finally she drawn Lighthouse painting. Mrs Ramsay is another character in the novel her character present Angel of house but Lily Briscoe broken Victoria idea woman more likely character Angel in the house and he give concept of free woman. Charles tensely wanted to marry with Lily Brisco and he give statement like women cannot do painting or writing. While Lily Briscoe asking question like why women cannot do painting writing  she can do anything. As a artist he broke she broke patriarchal Idea and fight again patriarchal society where people follow patriarchal rule like women likeable Angel of the house. Lily Briscoe feels the force of the social norm. She knows she is expected to get married and give up her paintings. In a crucial movement, which occurs in silence, Lily Briscoe decides that she will not marry and that she will paint. That movement does not exempt her from the role assigned to women in her society. It just makes that role an awkward fit.
 In this novel Virginia Woolf present the development of 33 year old unmarried female artist  Lily Briscoe perform a different humanity which hill used rate wolves conception of androgyny.

Conclusion- 

In short  Künstlerroma novel is classified as a sub- category of Bildungsroman. Künstlerroman and Bildungsroman novel between mainer different Bildungsroman novel element is protagonist character development childhood to adulthood while Künstlerroman novel element is protagonist character artistic development in the novel.  This term deals with the universal experience of growing up or coming of the age. It is often a therapeutic exercise in self- exploration for a writer.
        As student expects that the combined analysis of these novels have been
fruitful in terms of the study of the Kunstlerroman, because it provides a
theoretical framework for Post- Modern and contemporary novels of the genre.
