Reading Anne Bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet(1612-1672)is one of the most important figures in the history of American Literature.Bradstreet was born as Anne Dudley in Northampton, England.She was the daughter of Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Dudley, Earl of Lincoln, and she grew up in cultured circumstances.Bradstreet was an unusually well-educated woman for her time, which allowed her to expre herself through writing.She wrote about politics, history, medicine, and theology.Much of Bradstreet's poetry is based on observation of the world around her, focusing heavily on domestic and religious themes.Long considered primarily of historical interest, she won critical acceptance in the 20th century as a writer of enduring verse, particularly for her sequence of religious poems “Contemplations”,It is clear to see that Anne's faith was exemplary, and so was her love for children and her husband, Governor Simon Bradstreet.Anne's poems were written mainly during the long periods of loneline while Simon was away on political errands.Anne, who was a well educated woman, also spent much time with her children, reading to them and teaching them as her father had taught her when she was young.While it is rather easy for us to view Puritan ideology in a bad light because of it's attitude towards women and strict moral code, her indifference to material wealth, her humility and her spirituality, regardle of religion, made her into a positive, inspirational role model for any of us.Another one of Anne's most important qualities was her strong intuition, although only subtly hinted at in her work, probably for fear of reprisal from the deeply religious Puritan community, one cannot help but feel her constant fascination with the human mind, and spirit, andinner guidance.Her style is deceptively simple, yet speaks of a woman of high intelligence and ideals who was very much in love, and had unconditional faith.While it was difficult for women to air their views in the 17th Century, Anne Bradstreet did so with ease, as her rich vocabulary and polyvalent knowledge brought a lyrical, yet logical quality to her work which made it pleasant for anyone to read.Anne Bradstreet's poetry reflects Puritan thinking like sunlight softly shimmering on aquiet country pond.There is life and much activity just below the quiet surface,yet one must look below to discover its depth.As the first notable poet in American literature,it is fitting that this young woman,a product of an atypical upbringing,should use her extensive education to expre thought and emotion well beyond the writings of her time
