Anne Bradstreet

Anne Bradstreet is a great writer in the history of poetry. Anne Bradstreet was born Anne Dudley in north Amptom England 1612. As a women she didn't receive as much education. So therefore she didn't attend school, but her dad gave her tutors. Bradstreet as a women very much dislike the way the were treated and the cause being that they were women. In the eyes of other women should always be in the house cleaning, cooking, and being much of a housewife. This effected the women because they never had a chance to set a goal. Growing up was pretty hard for her but she found a men a very important man in her life that meant alot to her which name was Simon Bradstreet, this man would eventually become her husband . Simon played an important part in Anne's life and her writings. She always wrote poems about him and the true love that she always had for him. Probably they were very close and loved each other very much. She wrote to show the love they had when she wanted and felt it necessary.


Being said that Anne and her husband were very much in love and close to each other, not leaving behind that in fact she wrote poems about him for him.One of the poems that she wrote about him would be" To My Dear and Loving Husband". In this poem she writes to her husband saying in words and in between words how much she loves him. The diction in her poems show that the most, meaning the love that she is trying to portray in her writings. Words such as loved, happy, my love, thy love are all repeated at least one time throughout the poem. This shows a Strong relation towards her husband and that they really cared for each other and connect within themselves. She also repeats the words "if ever" in my opinion she is saying that if god gives her gives her life that life she will use it to love. Also that her love is not easy to forget and she hopes that he will not forget about the love they had for each other in the other life from this one. This come to conclusion that love is stronger than any other obstacle in the world, and that real love love could never be broken if it is real and eternal.

The next poem that was analyzed was the poem that Bradstreet wrote called" The Author To Her Book". This also one of her great accomplishment that she has done. All her poems have a strong meaning that you must read it over many times to be able to comprehended its texture and what's she trying to say throughout her writing. most of her writings are very complex. What i got out of this poem was that she was trying to say that when sometimes they are famous ,people tend to make up stories this people would be consider the press. but what they don't realize is that they are hurting someone . Not leaving behind that their the same as other people and that they are not perfect they have defects too, they are normal and would like to be treated as such. Some line that show what i am trying to argue would be "Press to trudge and i washed thy face but more defects i saw and rubbing off a spot still made flaw. If i didn't know better she probably did feel that way.
