| Summary: | The article examines the influence of Virginia Woolf's concept of androgyny on the poetry of Pak In-hwan, a significant figure in Korean postwar modernism. It highlights how Pak's engagement with Woolf's works, particularly "To the Lighthouse," reflects his exploration of gender dynamics and the impact of war on identity and creativity. The study argues that Pak's poetry, especially "A Wooden Horse and a Lady," embodies a unique blend of masculine and feminine elements, challenging patriarchal norms and offering a nuanced perspective on the human experience in the aftermath of conflict. The article also discusses the critical reception of Pak's work, noting a shift from negative assessments to a growing appreciation of his literary contributions.
