Femme métonymique, femme métaphorique: La poésie d'Anne Hébert et de Renée Vivien
Abstract
Two poetical works written at different times and places like those of Renée Vivien (France, 1900-1910) and Anne Hébert (Quebec, 1942-1960) prompt nonetheless the reader to draw a parallel between them because of the similarity of their main theme. Indeed, in both works, not only does a first person feminine voice prevail but this voice is presented through an incompetent and fragmented body which cannot accede to a full existence. However, this thematic kinship is not sustained by a resemblance of the form: if Renée Vivien elects the metaphorical approach, Anne Hébert prefers the progress of the metonymy. Hence, this comparison sheds a new light on the question of the specificity of feminine writing.Metrics
