An Interpretation: Who was Anne Bradstreet? While reading the poetry of Anne Bradstreet‚ the straightforward Puritanical figure emerges‚ as well as the loving‚ caring person she was. She was truly a faithful puritan‚ but she was also a daughter‚ wife‚ mother‚ scholar and critic. In her poetry she balances both sides.
