Anne Bradstreet Background Information Anne Bradstreet was born somewhere in England to a nonconformist soldier of Queen Elizabeth in 1612. His name was Thomas Dudley who managed affairs with Earl of Lincoln. In 1630, he and his family sailed on a boat to Massachusetts Bay Colony. Simon Bradstreet, who was his associate at the time also sailed with them and later became her husband. She was 16 years old and he was 25. Literature, history, Greek, Latin, French, Hebrew and English were some of the things that she has been well tutored in. John Winthrop was one of the people who sailed on the “Arbella” was a very difficult one at that, because so many people were dying during that three month period. After they arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony; at one point in time, her father became the governor and later on, so did her husband and they left many portraits and records. While living in Massachusetts, she drew quite a bit of attention from some of the women. She said, “Any woman who sought to use her wit, charm, or intelligence in the community at large found herself ridiculed, banished or executed by the colony’s powerful group of male leaders.” Because the puritan life was so boring for her in Massachusetts, how they dressed, and how they acted, led her to open up a shop of her own. She had different ideas and that is what led her to being separated from the church and state. “Deriving her ideas of god from the contemplations of her husbands Excellencies.” One document said.

Anne Bradstreet (ca.1612-72)
  • Introduction
    b. c. 1612, Northampton, Northamptonshire?, Eng.
    d. Sept. 16, 1672, Andover, Massachusetts Bay Colony [U.S.]
    one of the first poets to write English verse in the American colonies. 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," written for her family and not published until the mid-19th century.
    Her father, Thomas Dudley, was chief steward to the Puritan Earl of Lincoln, and
    she grew up in cultured circumstances. She married Simon Bradstreet, another prot?g?
    of the earl's, when she was 16, and two years later she, her husband, and her parents sailed with other Puritans to settle on Massachusetts Bay. She wrote her poems while rearing eight children, functioning as a hostess, and performing other domestic duties. The Bradstreets moved frequently in the Massachusetts colony, first to Cambridge, then to Ipswich, and then to Andover, which became their permanent home. Bradstreet's brother-in-law, without her knowledge, took her

25. Anne Dudley Bradstreet - Notable Women Ancestors
Biography of anne Dudley bradstreet, first American female poet.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nwa/bradstreet.html
I am obnoxious to each carping tongue,
Who sayes, my hand a needle better fits,
A Poets Pen, all scorne, I should thus wrong;
For such despighte they cast on female wits:
If what I doe prove well, it wo'nt advance,
They'l say its stolen, or else, it was by chance.
- Bradstreet Anne's childhood was spent in comparative luxury at Tattershall Castle in Sempringham, Lincolnshire, where her father was the chief steward of the vast estates of Theophilus Clinton, the Puritan Earl of Lincoln. Her upbringing was largely influenced by her father's position. She had private tutors, access to the Earl's library, the enouragement of a literate father who loved history, and a strict religious indoctrination. Arbella . The party arrived "in June at the half-dying, famine-ridden frontier village of Salem, after a journey of 3 month of close quarter, raw nerves, sickness, hysteria and salt meats," wrote Anne. At first dismayed by the rude life of the settlement, she soon reconciled herself to it. "I changed my condition and was marryed, and came into this country, where I found a new world and new manners, at which my heart rose. But after I was convinced it was the way of God, I submitted to it and joined to the church at Boston." Anne's father, Thomas Dudley became deputy governer of the Massachusetts Bay Company. He was a magistrate at the trial of Anne Hutchinson, the other, heretical, Anne, who threatened the foundations of the colony and "gloried" in her excommunication. Simon Bradstreet was an assistant and later twice governor of the colony. The official standing of her father and husband gave Anne a place of dignity and honor in the New World. After a brief residence in Cambridge, the family moved to Ipswich and after 1644 to North Andover, her home for the remainder of her life.

Classroom Issues and Strategies
There are many ways to approach Bradstreet: as a "first" (given that she is the first North American to publish a book of poems), as a Puritan, as a woman. I've found an interplay of all three approaches useful for piquing student interest. Those who are skeptical of my feminist readings may be caught by historical and cultural perspectives. Those who think they want nothing to do with Puritanism may be intrigued by Bradstreet's more personal writings. Beginning students are generally unfamiliar with the historical and theological contexts in which she wrote. Many close off their reading of Bradstreet and other Puritan writers because they disapprove of what they think they know about Puritan theology. Brief background materials make that context more accessible and less narrowly theological. Again for reasons of accessibility, I usually begin with the more personal poems from the second edition. The poignancy of Bradstreet's elegies, the simplicity of her love poems, the stark reality of her poem on childbirth, the wit of "The Author to Her Book"all travel across the centuries with relative ease, even for less skilled readers. When these immediately readable poems are placed in the context of women's lives in the seventeenth century and in the North American colonies, most students find a point of entry.

Index to the Poetry of Anne Bradstreet
"A frontier is no friendly place for literary creation; yet within a year after landing with John Winthrop in Massachusetts, America's first English poet was writing, and the fruits of her pen from the next forty odd years remain with us today," according to Jeannine Hensley, the editor of her Works. Hensely goes on to say, "she was not a great poet, but her poetry has endured." It has endured because of the personal intensity and poignancy of her writings, borne out of hard experience and faith. Anne Bradstreet was born in 1612 to Thomas Dudley and raised in a prosperous, educated home. After marrying Simon Bradstreet, she sailed to New England on the Arbella , exchanging a life of relative comfort and culture for the wilderness of Cambridge. It would appear that she was converted in the midst of her new hardships of building a home, storing food, enduring sickness, and raising eight children. Her poetry is a combination of Sixteenth Century convention, her new-found faith, and her struggle for the survival of her family. She went to be with the Lord in 1672. These poems are taken from the Works of Anne Bradstreet edited by Jeannine Hensley and published by the Harvard University Press. I selected the poems which speak most particularly of the Puritan experience, however

    The Life of Anne Bradstreet
    Most critics consider Anne Bradstreet America's first authentic poet. Anne Bradstreet was born Anne Dudley about 1612, in Norhampton, England, to Thomas and Dorthy Dudley. She married Simon Bradstreet when she was eighteen- years- old. Two years later, in 1630, the Bradstreets and Dudleys came to the New World. They lived in Salem, Boston, Cambridge, and Ipswich before they finally settled on a farm in North Andover, Massachusetts, in 1644. Simon Bradstreet became a judge, legislator, royal councilor, and twice a govenor of the colony while Anne Bradstreet became a devoted wife and mother. They had eight children, Richard Henry Dana, Wendell Phillips, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. In 1647, Anne Bradstreet's brother- in- law, the Reverend John Woodbridge, took some of her poetry to England where he had it published (The McGraw- Hill Encyclopedia of World Biography 137- 138). Anne Bradstreet is considered a great poet because many readers enjoy her subjects and how they are treated. Another reason why she is considered a great poet is because women poets in the 1600's are rare. These reasons combined with many others, makes her death on September 16, 1672, in North Andover, Massachusetts, a great loss.

She is best known for The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, a collection of her poems. This work was the first volume of original poetry written in the American Colonies. It was published in London in 1650. Many of the poems in The Tenth Muse deal with science and with Bradstreet's moral and religious ideas. However, her best poems describe home life in colonial New England. They include "Contemplations" and "On the Burning of Her House." Bradstreet also wrote sensitive poetry to her husband and children, including "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Meditations Divine and Moral."

    This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Anne Bradstreet was born in England in 1612 to well-connected Puritan parents. Her father, Thomas Dudley, was unusual in his commitment to teaching his daughter literature, history, and philosophy, and Bradstreet benefited from an extensive classical education such as was usually reserved only for male children. Her sixty years of life were troubled by recurring sickness and ill health, beginning with an attack of smallpox when she was sixteen. Shortly after recovering, she married her father's assistant, Simon Bradstreet. She immigrated to America with her husband and parents in 1630 as part of the group that sailed with John Winthrop on the Arbella . Although she later admitted that her "heart rose" in protest against the "new world and new manners" she encountered when she landed in Massachusetts, Bradstreet overcame her resentment and made a life for herself as a dutiful and respected Puritan daughter, wife, and mother.

Her widely-praised poems, sacred and secular in nature, were published in London in 1650 and posthumously published in an expanded compilation in Boston in 1678. Bradstreet's poetry is not only significant for her breadth of subjectshome and family, nature, history, philosophy, and religionbut also for her sensitivity to the prejudices against women's writings.

    The Prologue
    To sing of wars, of captains, and of kings,
    Of cities founded, commonwealth begun,
    For my mean pen are too superior things:
    Or how they all, or each their dates have run
    Let poets and historians set these forth,
    My obscure lines shall not so dim their worth.
    But when my wond'ring eyes and envious heart
    Great Bartas sugared lines do but read o'er,
    Fool I do grudge the Muses did not part
    "Twixt him and me that overfluent store; A Bartas can do what a Bartas will But simple I according to my skill. From schoolboy's tongue no rhetoric we expect, Nor yet a sweet consort from broken strings, Nor perfect beauty where's a main defect; My foolish, broken, blemished Muse so sings, And this to mend, alas, no art is able, "Cause nature made it so irreparable. Nor can I, like that fluent sweet tongued Greek Who lisped at first, in future times speak plain. By art he gladly found what he did seek, A full requital of his striving pain. Art can do much, but this maxim's most sure:

Bradstreet's brother-in-law, without her knowledge, took her poems to England, where they were published as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America (1650). The first American edition of The Tenth Muse was published in revised and expanded form as Several Poems Compiled with Great Variety of Wit and Learning Homage to Mistress Bradstreet, a long poem that incorporates many phrases from her writings.
