anne bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet, 1612-1672One of the first poets to write English verse in the American colonies. Long considered primarily of historical interest, she won critical acceptance in the 20th century as a writer of enduring verse, particularly for her sequence of religious poems "Contemplations," written for her family and not published until the mid-19th century.Anne Bradstreet was born Anne Dudley in Northhampton, England, in 1612. She was the daughter of Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Yorke. She lived in a time when the amount of education that a woman received was little to none. Even though she did not attend school, she was privileged enough to receive her education from eight tutors and from her father, Thomas Dudley, who was always more than willing to teach her something new. She was a very inquisitive young person who satisfied her hunger for knowledge through her extensive reading of some of the greatest authors ever known. Thanks to her father's position as the steward of the Earl of Lincoln estate, she had unlimited access to the great library of the manor. This is where she became exposed to the writings of many well known authors. In 1628 she married Simon Bradstreet, her father's assistant.In 1629, her father and husband had joined a group of very successful men, whose goal was to protect Puritan values from people like the Bishop of Laud and establish their own society in a new land. On March 29, 1630, Bradstreetand her family immigrated to the New World. Bradstreet was not too happy with the idea of giving up all of the benefits of the Earl's manor for what the wilderness of the New World had to offer. Nevertheless, Bradstreet spent three months on her ship, the Arbella, before she reached Salem on June 12, 1630. Ten other ships reached the Salem port soon after hers.When Bradstreet stepped foot on the soil of the New World, she was overwhelmed by the sickness, lack of food, and primitive living conditions. Regardless of all this hardship, she refused to give in and return to England and instead made the best of her new life. She struggled to raise eight children, take care of her home, and she still found time to write. Bradstreet lived a hard life, but she proved to be a strong women and this internal resolve is reflected in her writings.Bradstreet was bothered by the cultural bias toward women that was common in her time; the belief was that a woman's place was in the home attending to the family and her husband's needs. Women were often considered intellectual inferiors and because of this, critics believed that Bradstreet stole her ideas for her poems from men. Her writing was severely criticized because it was that of a woman, receiving a different kind of criticism than that of her male counterparts. The public had a similarly harsh reaction to Bradstreet's role as a female writer. When her first publication of The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America was released, the idea that she was a virtuous women had to be stressed. John Woodbridge, her brother-in-law, had to write: "By a GentleWomen in Those Parts" on the title page to assure readers that Bradstreet did not neglect her duties as a Puritan woman in order to write, by making it clear that she found time for her poetry by giving up sleep and using what little leisure time she had. We can see the anger that Bradstreet feels towards this kind of criticism about her writing in the following lines of her work "The Prologue":I am obnoxious to each carping tongueWho says my hand a needle better fits;A poet's pen all scorn I should thus wrong,For such despite they cast on female wits.If what I do prove well, it won't advance;They'll say it's stol'n, or else it was by chance.Simon Bradstreet played a crucial role in many of Bradstreet's works. She wrote love poems about him when he was around as well as when he was away on trips. In Bradstreet's Puritan culture, the love between husband and wife was supposed to be slightly repressed, so as not to distract one from devotion to God. Y et, some of Bradstreet's sonnets work against this idea. A good example of this is the poem, "To My Dear and Loving Husband," which contains the following lines:•If ever two were one, then surely we.•If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;•If ever wife was happy in a man,•Compare with me ye women if you can.•I prize thy love more than whole minds of gold,•Or all the riches that the East doth hold.•My love is such that rivers cannot quench,• Nor ought but love from thee recompense.•Thy love is such I can no way repay;•The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.•Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere,•That when we live no more we may live ever.致我亲爱的丈夫如果曾经两人默契,那是我和你。

anne brandstreet诗歌鉴赏
anne brandstreet诗歌鉴赏Anne Bradstreet was the first female poetess in America whose English poemsare worth reading. And one of her collection of poems is Contemplations that wasconsidered as an immortal masterpiece.This poetess who grew up in a puritanbackground had many poems influenced by Puritanism at that time. For example, TheTenth MuseLately Sprung up in America, it was a poem that expressed her puritan thoughts well. Her later poems which wrote for her family showed her great love toher family members.What's more, those pomes indicated that she accepted puritanthoughts totally which we can find from her lines. For instance, To My Dear andLoving Husband, Before the Birth of One of Her Children and other poems that wrotefor her grandchildren.To be a daughter, a wife, a mother and a grandmother, Anne Bradstreet playeddifferent roles in life and she loved family members very much which was expressedin her poems about family. When read those poems, it's easy to find the mostimportant thing in her life is family. Now I will analyze her special love to her familymembers from her poems: the love to father, to husband, to children.。

Anne Bradstreet_A letter to her husband
Anne Bradstreet(1612?-1672)--America’s first published poet--daughter of gentry: Thomas Dudley, steward to the Earl of Lincoln and Dorothy Yorke, a gentlewoman--educated in England by private tutors & access to the Earl of Lincoln’s library --1628: married Simon Bradstreet--1630: arrived with husband and her parents in Massachusetts--her husband & father both had long public service careers in the new colony--during her stay, she took care of a busy household, raised eight children and found time to read and write poetry--her first book, The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, was published in 1650 by her brother-in-law, without her permission or knowledge; a 2nd edition was published in 1666 with her permission & with additional poems--best known for her female themes & her ability to adjust conventional tropes to personal themes--1672: dies in Andover, Mass.A Letter to Her Husband, Absent Upon Public EmploymentMy head, my heart, mine eyes, my life, nay more,My joy, my magazine* of earthly store, *storehouseIf two be one, as surely thou and I,How stayest thou there, whilst I at Ipswich* lie? *a village north of BostonSo many steps, head from the heart do sever, 5If but a neck, soon should we be together:I, like the earth this season*, mourn in black, *winterMy sun is gone so far in's zodiac,Whom whilst I 'joy'd*, nor storms, nor frosts I felt, *enjoyedHis warmth* such frigid colds did cause to melt. 10 *pun that includes sexual warmthMy chilled limbs now numbed lie forlorn;Return, return sweet Sol from Capricorn*; *10th house of zodiac (=winter)In this dead time, alas, what can I moreThen view those fruits which through thy heat* I bore? *pun that includes sexual heatWhich sweet contentment yield me for a space, 15True living pictures of their father's face.O strange effect! Now thou art southward gone,I weary grow, the tedious day so long;But when thou northward to me shalt return,I wish my sun may never set, but burn 20Within the Cancer* of my glowing breast, *4th house of zodiac (=summer)The wecome house of him my dearest guest.Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,Till nature's sad decree* shall call thee hence; *deathFlesh of thy flesh*, bone of thy bone, 25 *echoes wedding vowsI here, thou there, yet both but one.Bradstreet is famous for her poems about family life, including poems about her love for her husband. Another good example of her treatment of this theme is "To My Dear and Loving Husband."Bradstreet's education in England exposed her to 17th-century metaphysical poetry like that written by John Donne and others. Metaphysical poetry i s noted for its p layfulness with extended and sometimes exaggerated metaphors. The poem below exhibits this feature.An extended metaphor of the relationship between the husband and wife being like that between different body parts runs through lines 1-6. Bradstreet uses the conventional image of the husband as the head, the rational partner, in the marriage, with the wife being the heart, the emotional partner in the relationship.Inline 6, B radstreet uses the word "neck" to literalize the metaphor, thus demonstrating a common feature of metaphysical "wit." This playfulness with the metaphor of body parts also suggests that the natural state of things is for the head and heart never to be further apart than the length of a neck.Bradstreet's second extended metaphor, r unning through lines 7-21, i s more complex. It not only involves the conventional symbolism of winter as a time of near death and summer as a time of rejuvenation, life and fertility. But, as an added dimension, Bradstreet also uses t he s easonal interpretations t hat were linked to the different signs of the zodiac. She also uses another convention in this section, this t ime drawn from classical mythology, in which woman is the earth, whose fertility is awakened by the warmth of the sun, thus leading to the production of "fruits" (line 14).Finally, like many metaphysical poems, this one ends with a paradox: two equals one. (Note that the paradox is in fact introduced in line 3, but doesn't call attention to itself until the poem's last line.) Howcan t wo b ecome one? Line 25 provides the clue. Two individuals become one unit through a marriage that is based on mutual love and respect。

anne bradstreet
Bradstreet was an unusually well-educated woman for her time, which allowed her to express herself through writing. She wrote about politics, history, medicine, and theology. Her personal library of books was said to have numbered over 800, many of which were destroyed when her home burned down on July 10, 1666. This event itself inspired a poem entitled "Upon the Burning of Our House July 10th, 1666", wherein Bradstreet strives to reconcile her faith in an all-powerful God with the tragedy that has befallen her.
Much of Bradstreet's poetry is based on observation of the world around her, focusing heavily on domestic and religious themes. Long considered primarily of historical interest, she won critical acceptance in the 20th century as a writer of enduring verse, particularly for her sequence of religious poems "Contemplations", which was written for her family and not published until the mid-19th century.[2] Bradstreet's work was deeply influenced by poet Guillaume du Bartas, who was favoured by 17th-century readers.

八月将尽,我奔跑,穿过这条消毒隧道,移动的死人,还在辩论如何把他们的骨头推向治疗的利刀。
我是这座夏日旅馆的女皇,一只大笑的蜜蜂,在死亡的花茎上。
晚餐冰冷的大门紧闭,排着懒散的队列,像一段一段的绳子,我们等候他们开门,清点。
嘟囔一句烂口号,我们便移向肉汁,微笑的罩衣袒护着酮体。
我们座成排,咀嚼,一个个圆盘子如同学校里的粉笔尖叫或呜咽。
这里,没有刀用来割断喉咙。
我制作鹿皮靴贯穿一整个早晨。
起初,我闲置双手,想让掌中的那些生活不再忙碌。
而现在我要把它们召回,每一只愤怒的手指要求修补,到了明天却又有一只要断裂。
当然,我爱你:你依靠在塑料的天空上,是整个街区的神,一个王子,迷倒所有的狐狸。
童话里杰克戴的皇冠,刚制作好就全要裂开。
你的第三只眼在我们之间飘移,依次点亮那些被隔开的盒子,我们在那里睡眠,或哭泣。
看我们这些大孩子!病人之中,我长得最高在这最好的房间。
而你的生意是人,你探访疯人院,我们巢穴中一只神圣的眼。
大厅那边,广播也传呼你。
狐狸孩子们推你团团转,他们跌倒,像被冰霜侵袭的生命的洪水。
而我们是魔术对自己讲话,烦闹而孤独。
我是我所有被遗忘的罪孽的女皇。
我是否还在迷惘?曾经那样美丽,现在我却还原了自己,清点这一排鹿皮靴,再清点那一排。
它们彷徨,在沉寂的货架上。
