1612 - 1672 Some Key Features Of Her Writing Anne Bradstreet 1612 - 1672 Some Key Features Of Her Writing

Early Writing Classical Poetical Devices and Form Iambic pentameter Quatrains References and allusions to classical cultures Intentional variation to signify rhetorical effect or emphasis in rhythms syntax, End rhymes Extended metaphor and metaphysical conceits In the tradition of English Metaphysical Poets Andrew Marvell and John Donne A sophisticated use of wit and irony to explore complex spiritual paradoxes

Subtext Use of traditional poetical devices belies a non-traditional view of the role of women in Puritan society Alternatives to the Bible for sources of authority Literature and mythology Mythic and historic heroines The maternal domestic role The use of irony to allow her to say what she could not otherwise say openly Self-effacing apologies A subdued confidence in her own ability to instruct and to experience life

Early Influences Dangers of living in Puritan society Anne Hutchinson, a contemporary Other Puritan women who did not receive her level of education Puritan male audiences who were reading the work of a Puritan woman An educated and literary background European audiences who were reading the experiences of a colonist Self-consciousness about the creation of a divergent literary tradition in the Colonies

Later Influence Life Experience Spirituality Love and Sex Motherhood and infant mortality Loss and disaster Political change Spirituality Crisis and reconciliation of faith Puritan role of “mother” The increasing importance of Puritan life over her “career” as a writer (from feminist to traditionalist)
