Despite attempts by male contemporaries to assassinate her character, Kim was an outspoken writer and an early feminist, confronting patriarchal Korean society in essays, plays, poems, and short stories. This volume is the first to offer a detailed analysis in English of Kim's poetry. The poems examined in this volume can be considered early twentieth-century versions of #MeToo literature, mirroring the harrowing account of her sexual assault, and also subversive challenges to traditional institutions, dealing with themes such as romantic free love, same-sex love, single womanhood, and explicit female desire and passion. The Life and Works of Korean Poet Kim Myng-sun restores a long-neglected woman writer to her rightful place in the history of Korean literature, shedding light on the complexity of women's lives in Korea and contributing to the growing interest in modern Korean women's literature in the West. 600 10 $a Kim, MyoÌng-sun, $d 1896- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000775181 830 0 $a Routledge studies in twentieth-century literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503011257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BEC62DBCB8CA11EDAC6855BD37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
