(At the birth of her first child she wrote "It pleased God to keep me a long time without child..." (EICH 64:303). She was admitted to Boston church as member #13, shortly after her husband . She died at Andover 16 September 1672. (Simon Bradstreet's first wife, Anne (Dudley) Bradstreet, was, of course, the renowned poetess. Two recent studies of Anne Bradstreet and her poetry are Elizabeth Wade White, "Anne Bradstreet: The Tenth Muse" (New York 1971), and Ann Stanford, "Anne Bradstreet: The Worldly Poet" (New York 1974).). Of her children she wrote I had eight birds hatched in one nest, Four cocks there were, and hens the rest; I nursed them up with pain and care, Nor cost, nor labour did I spare, Till at the last they felt their wing, Mounted the trees, and learn'd to sing (EICH 64:303). iii. Anne, b. say 1610; m. before 1630 Simon Bradstreet. Anne (Dudley) Bradstreet was the renowned poetess. ... ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Poet. Born Anne Dudley to nonconformist parents Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Yorke Dudley in Northampton, England. Her father was the steward for the Earl of Lincoln and afforded his daughter an unusually complete education. Around 1628 she married Simon Bradstreet, her father's assistant. On March 29, 1630, Bradstreet and her family sailed for the New World. After several years, they finally settled on a farm in North Andover, Massachusetts in 1644. Simon Bradstreet became a judge, royal councilor, and twice a governor of the colony. Anne Bradstreet became mother to eight children and wrote only privately. She was frequently ill and apparently developed a vaguely morbid mind set and was continually distressed by the culturally ingrained condescension toward women. Her first public work may well have been the epitaph she penned for her mother in 1643. Four years later, her brother-in-law carried a collection of her poems with him to England where he had them published. They appeared as ‘The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, By a Gentlewoman of Those Parts' in the New World in 1650. While it did sell in England, the volume was not well received in Massachusetts. Although she continued to write for herself and her family, no more of her work was published in her lifetime. She was purportedly buried in the Old Burying Point in Salem, Massachusetts beside her husband, though other locations for her grave have also been proposed. In 1678 her ‘Several Poems Compiled with Great Variety of Wit and Learning' was posthumously published followed by ‘The Works of Anne Bradstreet in Prose and Verse.' She is now considered the earliest of American poets and among the finest of her age. Bio by: Iola
