By this time, she had immigrated to New England with her husband; given birth to seven of her eight children; settled on her fifth and final homestead; and gained access to a network of influential Puritan leaders via the various positions held by her father, husband, brothers, and brothers-in-law within the Massachusetts Bay Colony government. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This study of Bradstreet explores the literary, religious, political, social, and familial contexts of colonial America that shaped her life and work. Bradstreet embraced her identity as a poet of her time, drawing inspiration from earlier writers as well as her contemporaries, who used a common set of stylistic conventions to explore themes of love, faith, loss, and mortality. Given the scarcity of recent scholarship on Bradstreet, this book is designed as a versatile resource--a blend of biography, literary analysis, history, genealogy, reference, and textbook--that situates Bradstreet's poetry within the greater context of the seventeenth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Beebe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476691738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476691732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Ann Beebe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47136451494143,"sku":"9781476691732","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe7d68bc-3315-4c6f-afef-bdc644ed2eb8.jpg?v=1755023383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anne-bradstreet-in-context-ann-beebe-9781476691732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
