Anne Bradstreet was a colorful, lively, passionate Puritan who took great relish in life and reveled in the earthly manifestations of beauty, goodness, and truth. Born in England, she moved to the Massachusetts Bay Colony with her husband in 1630. She not only accepted the social, cultural, and political mores of the Puritans, she embraced them with gusto. Within that context she produced America's first literary works. This book affords a fascinating glimpse into the Puritan world and its impact on the founding of America.
