Description
"Douglas Wilson has accomplished with this book what every biographer ought to accomplish: He has enlightened for us an entire age and not just a single representation of that age." (George Grant)
America's first poet, Anne Bradstreet, wrote poems regularly for her family's private enjoyment. But in 1647, unbeknownst to Anne, her brother-in-law set sail for England with a manuscript of her poetry. Upon his return, he presented her book to her: The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne was thoroughly embarrassed but also pleased. Subsequent generations have valued her gifts as a poet as well, and her poetry remains in print to this day.
However, to the modern mind, Anne herself remains something of an enigmatic figure—a dedicated Puritan, housewife, and gifted poet. This biography provides a deeper look at Anne Bradstreet's personal qualities, the vibrant poetry she created, and her contributions to the way of life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
This book is a reprint of Stateliest Marble: The Passionate Femininity of Anne Bradstreet.
