여성의 몸과 시: 에드나 세인트 빈센트 밀레이 읽기 = Female Body and Poetry: Reading Edna St. Vincent Millay

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to analyze Edna St. Vincent Millay's poetry by focusing on the representation of the female body in her poems. Millay has long been underestimated due to her excessively feminine and sentimental attitude in the era of high Modernism. She is, however, recently regarded as one of the subversive women writers who have struggled to write about gender recognition beyond the conventional limitations. As for Millay, being female, that is, being born and living as a woman, means struggling against gender stereotypes in writing poems and in her real life. She displays, specifically speaking, the female body as a subject matter to defy social prejudice with regard to the issue of femininity. The speakers, both male and female, of her poems openly express women's sexual desire and their intention of seduction through their femininity. Millay also sets the female body as a means of developing her self-consciousness. Her poetry stands out among the poems of her contemporary writers by embracing and representing femininity and the female body as it is.
