The novel uses religion as a driving force in politics at a time when religion was believed to be dying down. Another important revolutionary idea was the human control over ecology

Anne Bradstreet’s Poetry Anne Bradstreet was the Danica Patrick of poetry in the mid 1600’s‚ except she went unknown. She drove into the male-dominant field of poetry.

Bradstreet is not only self-deprecating
