	PAL:Anne Bradstreet(1612?-1672)
		Bradstreet confessed that the scarcity of food, sickness, and the "primitive living conditions of the New England outpost," caused her heart to rise in protest of the "new world and new manners" (Martin 29).
		Bradstreet's work demonstrates that she had difficulty "resolving the conflict she experienced between the pleasures of sensory and familial experience and the promise of heaven" (30).
		Bradstreet's love of nature, written in one of her later poems titled "Contemplations" is reminiscent of the Romantics attitude toward nature and man. Josephine Piercy wonders if the Romantics were influenced by Bradstreet, as her poems were widely read (101).

	Identifying with a New England poet who blazed an early trail - The Boston Globe
		Bradstreet, Gordon writes, is ''a likable poet." Students to whom she has read Bradstreet's poetry ''have been thrilled by her passion and slang, her formality and humor" -- the ''passion" revealing itself especially in the deeply felt expressions of longing for her husband.
		Gordon has a clear engagement with Bradstreet, and the major accomplishment of this lively biography is in showing that she is as exceptional a person as the 17th-century New England she lived in.
		Her husband, Simon Bradstreet, whom she had married at 16, two years before they left England for the new colony, would serve two terms as governor.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Anne Bradstreet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Although Bradstreet was not much read in the two succeeding centuries, her poetry was rediscovered in the 1960s as part of the new focus on women’s writing and continues to garner much critical attention.
		The breadth of Bradstreet’s scholarship, the depth of her humor, the mastery of her poetic lines, and the intensity of her passion for her husband and children have kept alive the interest in her work and have led scholars to re-evaluate Puritanism and women’s role in it.
		For Bradstreet, two major events happened when she was sixteen: first a bout of smallpox, which she contracted in about 1628, and shortly afterward her marriage to Simon Bradstreet, who in 1621, when Bradstreet was nine, joined the household in Sempringham and worked with her father until the Dudley’s moved to nearby Boston in 1624.

	PAL:Anne Bradstreet(1612?-1672)
		Therefore Ann Bradstreet's works can be seen as a depiction of her trials and of the trials of others living within the early years of the colonies, and in subtle nature of a woman's plight to be heard.
		In 1632 Bradstreet wrote "Upon a fit of sickness" this could be seen as a reflection upon her own turmoil's and troubles encountered within the colonies from sickness that plagued not only her family, but herself as well.
		Bradstreet had taken a tone similar to men of literary merit from the time and peers whom were expecting the poetry to have a "feministic" appeal looked at the collection as poorly structured and not fitting a female author.

		Poetry writing enabled Bradstreet to endure the conflicts of her middle years when her affections were not sufficiently weaned from her family to permit her to put the demands of God first.
		As governor, Simon Bradstreet's duties to his constituents were time-consuming, and his wife could not in good conscience claim more of his energy—to make further demands on him would mean that she was interfering with his calling by placing herself between her husband and God.
		Anne Bradstreet's late poems reveal that she struggled with the conflict between her love for her husband and children and her devotion to God; repeatedly, she reminds herself of her duty as wife and mother and later grandmother to assist her family in the service of God.
