Summary/Abstract: "The text I investigate, The Waterfall (1969) by Margaret Drabble, raises several questions concerning various aspects of the genres of the novel, the romance and the Bildungsroman. It tells the self-in-the-making process of a female poet, Jane Gray, who having driven away her husband gives birth to her second child and starts an adulterous love relation with her cousin’s husband, James."
