This is a highly readable biography that never gets bogged down in dry history and facts. The author immerses the reader in the political/religious atmosphere in England during the early 1600s, the thinking that led to the "Great Migration," and life in the new colony. One gets a sense of Anne Bradstreet as an educated and introspective daughter, wife, mother and poet. There is a sense of some stretching with the presentation of Anne's thoughts; surely speculative at times when it slips beyond research and Anne's own writing. But then, Charlotte Gordon has probably spent more time with Anne Bradstreet than most, and is thus as qualified as anyone to speak for her. There is much to learn here about the poet, the woman, and the times she lived in. ( ) This was a pretty good novel. I loved reading about this puritan girl and her beliefs. I believe that the author put too much of her opinion into the novel though. I would suggest this book to anyone who is looking for a biography to read for school expecially for an American Lit. of American History class. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Though her work is a staple of anthologies of American poetry, Anne Bradstreet has never before been the subject of an accessible, full-scale biography for a general audience. Anne Bradstreet is known for her poem, To My Dear and Loving Husband, among others, and through John Berryman's Homage to Mistress Bradstreet. With her first collection, The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, she became the first published poet, male or female, of the New World. Many New England towns were founded and settled by Anne Bradstreet's family or their close associates -- characters who appear in these pages. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
