Peter Ackroyd’un İngiliz Müziği (1992) adlı eseri, İngiliz Bildungsroman geleneği ile postmodern romanın deneysel eğilimleri arasında ikircikli bir konumda yer alır. Klasik Bildungsroman'ın kişisel gelişim ve kendini gerçekleştirme özelliklerinin biçimsel izini takip ederken, rüya görüntüleri, doğaüstü motifler ve metinlerarası deneysellik kullanımıyla geleneksel gerçekçiliği bozar. Böylece roman, hem geleneği koruma hem de altüst etme eylemi haline gelir: İngiliz kanonunun otoritesini savunurken, aynı zamanda büyülü gerçekçilik,metinlerarasılık, pastiş, karnavalesk ve meta-kurgu gibi postmodern araçlarla onun öncüllerini sorgular. Gerçekçilik ve metafizik, tarihsel bilinç ve hayal gücü vizyonunun bir arada varlığı, İngiliz Müziği’ni postmodern Bildungsroman'ın paradigmatik bir örneği haline getirir. Bu eleştirel içgörülerden yola çıkan bu makale, İngiliz Müziği’nin gelenek ve yenilik arasında nasıl bir özbilinçli uzlaşma sağladığını inceler. Çalışma ayrıca, Ackroyd'un anlatısının, İngiliz Bildungsroman türünün özelliklerini hem öven hem de yapı-söküme uğratan eden melez bir edebi formu yansıttığını savunur.

Peter Ackroyd’s English Music (1992) occupies an ambivalent position between the traditions of the English Bildungsroman and the experimental tendencies of postmodern novel. While it follows the formal trajectory of personal growth and self-realization characteristics of the classical Bildungsroman, its employment of dream visions, supernatural motifs, and intertextual experimentation disrupts conventional realism. The novel thereby becomes both an act of preservation and subversion—upholding the authority of the English canon while simultaneously interrogating its premises through postmodern devices such as magical realism, intertextuality, pastiche, the carnivalesque, and metafiction. The coexistence of realism and metaphysics, of historical consciousness and imaginative vision, makes English Music a paradigmatic example of the postmodern Bildungsroman. Drawing upon these critical insights, this article examines how English Music operates as a self-conscious negotiation between tradition and innovation. The study also argues that Ackroyd’s narrative reflects a hybrid literary form that both celebrates and deconstructs the characteristics of English Bildungsroman as a genre.
