Anne Bradstreet and Her Time

About this book

In a period marked by the burgeoning voice of colonial America, "Anne Bradstreet and Her Time" by Helen Campbell illuminates the life of Anne Bradstreet, the first published female poet in the New World. This compelling historical account delves into the intricate tapestry of 17th-century Puritan society, exploring themes of gender, faith, and creativity. Bradstreet’s poetry, rich with personal reflection and unalienable rights, challenges the constraints of her era, offering a unique perspective on women's roles in literature. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this work not only celebrates Bradstreet's literary contributions but also situates her within the broader sociopolitical landscape of her time, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of American literature and feminism.
