Wednesday- 9/2/15

Anne Bradstreet Anne was born in Northampton, England, 1612, the daughter of Thomas Dudley, a steward of the Earl of Lincoln, and Dorothy Yorke. [3] Due to her family's position, she grew up in cultured circumstances and was a well- educated woman for her time, being tutored in history, several languages and literature. At the age of sixteen she married Simon Bradstreet. Both Anne's father and husband were later to serve as governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Anne and Simon, along with Anne's parents, emigrated to America aboard the Arbella as part of the Winthrop Fleet of Puritan emigrants in [4] She first touched American soil on June 14, 1630 at what is now Pioneer Village (Salem, Massachusetts) with Simon, her parents and other voyagers as part of the Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640). Due to the illness and starvation of Gov. John Endecott and other residents of the village, their stay was very brief. Most moved immediately south along the coast to Charlestown, Massachusetts for another short stay before moving south along the Charles River to found "the City on the Hill," Boston, Massachusetts.NorthamptonEnglandThomas DudleyEarl of Lincoln [3]Simon BradstreetMassachusetts Bay ColonyArbellaWinthrop Fleet [4]Pioneer Village (Salem, Massachusetts)Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640)John Endecott Charlestown, MassachusettsCharles RiverBoston, Massachusetts

The Bradstreet family soon moved again, this time to what is now Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1632, Anne had her first child, Samuel, in Newe Towne, as it was then called. Despite poor health, she had eight children and achieved a comfortable social standing. Having previously been afflicted with smallpox as a teenager in England, Anne would once again fall prey to illness as paralysis overtook her joints in later years. In the early 1640s, Simon once again pressed his wife, pregnant with her sixth child, to move for the sixth time, from Ipswich, Massachusetts to Andover Parish. North Andover is that original town founded in 1646 by the Stevens, Osgood, Johnson, Farnum, Barker and Bradstreet families among others. Anne and her family resided in the Old Center of North Andover, Massachusetts. They never lived in what is now known as "Andover" to the south.Cambridge, MassachusettssmallpoxIpswich, MassachusettsNorth Andover, Massachusetts

Both Anne's father and her husband were instrumental in the founding of Harvard in Two of her sons were graduates, Samuel (Class of 1653) and Simon (Class of 1660). In October 1997, the Harvard community dedicated a gate in memory of her as America's first published poet (see last paragraph below). The Bradstreet Gate is located next to Canaday Hall, the newest dormitory in Harvard Yard.Harvard Yard In 1650, Rev. John Woodbridge had The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in Americacomposed by "A Gentlewoman from Those Parts" published in London, making Anne the first female poet ever published in both England and the New World. On July 10, 1666, their North Andover family home burned (see "Works" below) in a fire that left the Bradstreets homeless and with few personal belongings. By then, Anne's health was slowly failing. She suffered from tuberculosis and had to deal with the loss of cherished relatives. But her will remained strong and as a reflection of her religious devotion and knowledge of Biblical scriptures, she found peace in the firm belief that her daughter-in-law Mercy and her grandchildren were in heaven.The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in AmericaLondonEnglandNew WorldNorth Andover tuberculosis

Anne Bradstreet died on September 16, 1672 in North Andover, Massachusetts at the age of 60. The precise location of her grave is uncertain but many historians believe her body is in the Old Burying Ground at Academy Road and Osgood Street in North Andover. Four years after the death of Anne in 1672, Simon Bradstreet married for a second time to a lady also named Anne (Gardiner). In 1697 Simon died and was buried in Salem.North Andover, Massachusetts

Turn to p. 91 “Upon the Burning of our House”, Anne Bradstreet

Metaphor A figure of speech that compares or equates two seemingly unlike things. A metaphor that compares two unlike things in various ways throughout a paragraph, a stanza, or an entire work is known as an extended metaphor. What metaphors does Bradstreet use?

Line 44- "Thou hast a house on high erect, framed by that mighty architect." This means that her home is in heaven with god and the point she is trying to bring across is that her earthly home is not important. Line “ My pleasant things in ashes lie, And them behold no more shall I. This could be a metaphor for her past life. Line 39- “ Didst fix thy hope on mold’ring dust? She put her hope into worldly things. Line 47- “It’s purchased and paid for too By him who hath enough to do”- Sin Line “The world no longer let me love, My hope and treasure lies above.” She does not care about worldly possessions, only that of Heaven and God.

1.What conclusions can you draw about Bradstreet’s faith in God from lines What is the theme of the poem?

1.She believes that God is responsible for all things, good and bad, and that she must trust God’s will.

The theme of this poem is a common one for Bradstreet. It is the internal struggle between one’s love of people and things on Earth and one’s service to God. When Bradstreet’s narrator is talking to her heart, she is really talking to the part of herself that takes pleasure in and feels connected to worldly things. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan, and much of her work deals with the struggle between being a writer, wife, and mother who loves her life and focusing on God and salvation. The poem’s last four lines leave our narrator bent on amending her ways, denying her fondness for the physical word, and centering her existence on serving God and getting to Heaven. There‘s wealth enough, I need no more, Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store. The world no longer let me love, My hope and treasure lies above.

The speaker is the voice if a poem, similar to the narrator in a work of prose. Sometimes the speaker’s voice is that of the poet; sometimes, is that of a fictional person-or even a thing. How does the structure of these lines suggest that the speaker is presenting a dialogue or debate with herself?

In lines 27-36, her thoughts focus on the tragic destruction of her material possessions. In line 37, however, she reproves or “chides”her own heart, as she recalls that true wealth does not abide on earth.

To My Dear and Loving Husband, Anne Bradstreet P.92 How does Bradstreet’s description of her love for her husband reflect her religious beliefs?

theme:The main idea or meaning of a text. Often, this is an insight about human life revealed in a literary work imagery: Words and phrases that appeal to the five senses. sound:The poet uses rhyme, rhythm, and/or repetition to help the listener to hear the poem. rhythm: The beat of a poem. lines: phrases or words in a stanza form: What a poem looks like

figurative language: language employing one or more figures of speech (simile, metaphor, imagery, etc.) simile: comparison using like or as metaphor: comparison not using like or as onomatopoeia:the use of words that imitate sounds personification: A figure of speech in which an object or animal is given human feelings, thoughts, or attitudes hyperbole: extreme exaggeration rhyme scheme/rhyme: The pattern in which rhyme sounds occur in a stanza. Example- the pattern ababbcbcc."

alliteration: The repetition of consonant sounds at the BEGINNING of words. repetition:repeated use of sounds, words, or ideas for effect and emphasis in a poem stanza:The division in a poem named for the number of lines it contains.

alliteration example Super Samson Simpson by Jack Prelutsky I am Super Samson Simpson, I'm superlatively strong, I like to carry elephants, I do it all day long, I pick up half a dozen and hoist them in the air, it's really somewhat simple, for I have strength to spare.

Some of the important poetic devices used by her are: 1. Hyperbole, or exaggeration: "I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold, Or all the riches that the East doth hold. My love is such that Rivers cannot quench." Anne Bradstreet's heart is so overflowing with love for her husband that she exaggeratedly claims that she values the love of her husband more than all the gold mines or the wealth of the Orient. Similarly, she claims that she loves her husband so much that all the rivers of the world will not be able to put out the fiery and passionate love which she has for her husband.

What is the rhyme scheme?
