Anne Bradstreet/Rhetoric, Themes & Style
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
A 4 page research paper essay that analyzes and discusses the work of Anne Bradstreet, who was the first American poet to have her work published. Bradstreet accomplished this while simultaneously raising eight children within the social context of Puritan colonial society, which had strict views on appropriate decorum and gender roles. While it violates Puritan concepts of the appropriate role for a woman by Bradstreet entering the public arena as a published author, examination of her rhetoric, themes and style demonstrates why Bradstreet’s work met with widespread approval. Basically, this was because her poems demonstrated her dedicated religious orientation and her love and dedication to her family. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
