The Works Of Anne Bradstreet (the John Harvard Library) [Paperback]

Anne Bradstreet was one of our earliest feminists and the first true poet in the American colonies. This collection of her extant poetry and prose, scrupulously edited by Jeannine Hensley, has long been the standard edition of Bradstreets work. Hensleys introduction sketches the poets life, and Adrienne Richs foreword offers a sensitive critique of Bradstreet as a person and as a writer. The John Harvard Library edition includes a chronology of Bradstreets life and an updated bibliography.
