美国文学浪漫主义女作家AnneBradstreet.pptVIP

* Anne Bradstreet (ca. 1612 – September 16, 1672) was the first American female writer as well as the first American female poet to have her works published. Bradstreet was born as Anne Dudley in Northampton, England. She was the daughter of Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Dudley, Earl of Lincoln, and she grew up in cultured circumstances. At the age of sixteen she married Simon Bradstreet. Both Anne‘s father and Anne’s husband were later to serve as governors of the Massachusetts Bay Company. Anne and Simon, along with Anne‘s parents, immigrated to America aboard the Arbela during the “Great Migration”（大移民） in 1630 Anne Bradstreet and the New World: Anne Bradstreet and her husband moved around quite a bit, living in Salem, Boston, Cambridge, and Ipswich before settling in 1645 or 1646 in North Andover on a farm. Beginning in 1633, Anne bore eight children. As she noted in a later poem, half were girls, half boys: I had eight birds hatched in one nest,Four Cocks there were, and Hens the rest. Anne Bradstreet, along with her husband and her father, and such others as John Winthrop and John Cotton, were in the Arbella, the lead ship of eleven that set off in April and landed in Salem Harbor in June of 1630. The new immigrants including Anne Bradstreet found conditions much worse than theyd expected. Anne and her family had been relatively comfortable in England; now, life was harsher. Yet, as a later poem of Bradstreets makes clear, they submitted to Gods will. 她是美国最早写出真正有价值的英文诗歌的一位女诗人。 　　她的宗教组诗《沉思集》(Contemplations)受到20世纪文学批评界的重视，被认为是一部不朽之作。 　　父亲汤玛斯.达德利是清教徒林肯伯爵的总管家。她在有文化教养的环境中长大。16岁时，她同伯爵的另一被保护人赛门.布莱德斯特律(Simon Bradstreet)结婚，在养育8个孩子和料理家务的同时仍从事写作。 　　　她的姐夫未经她的同意，就将她的诗带到英国，以《第十位缪斯新近在美洲出现》(The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, 1650)为题发表，这使她感到意外。美洲第一版的《第十位缪斯》经修订及扩增後出版，书名改为《一些风格各异、充满智慧的诗歌》(Several Poems Compiled with Great Variety of Wit and Learning)。 　　其中大部分诗都是冗长的模仿性作品，只有最後两首《凡人的虚荣》(Of the vanity of all worldly creatures)和《大卫对扫罗和约拿单的哀悼》(Davids Lamentation for
