Summary "Anne Bradstreet and Her Time" by Helen Campbell is a historical account written in the late 19th century that explores the life and significance of Anne Bradstreet, the first published female poet in colonial America. The book delves into her background, examining the sociopolitical conditions that shaped her life and work, highlighting her contributions to American literature despite the constraints imposed by her time. At the start of the book, the author introduces Anne Dudley, later known as Anne Bradstreet, detailing her uncertain origins and the early influences that shaped her. The narrative discusses her family's socio-economic status and Puritan beliefs, setting the stage for her literary achievements amidst a society that often overlooked women’s contributions. As the text unfolds, it lays the groundwork for understanding the formative experiences of Bradstreet and her contemporaries, noting the cultural and spiritual milieu of early colonial life that would ultimately influence her poetic voice.
