The author analyzes one of her celebrated works, "To My Dear And Loving Husband", discussing her open feelings of physical and spiritual love for her husband, and how these emotions interact with Puritan beliefs.From the Paper:
"Bradstreet's work, although sometimes very un-Puritan, is not completely rebellious when she does not follow the standard convention of Puritanism. One must keep in mind that the standard convention is based almost exclusively on men, Rosenmeier 4. She struggles with ?the tension and conflicts of a person struggling for selfhood in a culture that was outraged by individual autonomy and that valued property to the extent that it praised God.?More papers on "To My Dear and Loving Husband":
