Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Specimens of American Poetry, With Critical and Biographical Notices, Vol. 1 of 3: In Three Volumes
The earliest poet of New England, however, was anne bradstreet, the wife of Simon Bradstreet, Governor of the Massachusetts colony, and daughter of Thomas Dudley, also Governor. She was born in 1612, probably at Northampton or Boston in England. She was married to Mr Bradstreet at the age of six teen, and came the next year, 1630, with her husband to this country. The preface to the second edition of her poems published after her death, declares the volume to be the work of a woman honored and esteemed, where she lives, for her gracious demeanor, her eminent parts, her pious conversation, her courteous disposition.
