Biography

Anne (Dudley) Bradstreet is Notable.

America’s first published woman poet, Anne Bradstreet, was born Anne Dudley in Far Cotton, Northampton, England in 1612. She married Simon Bradstreet who worked for the Massachusetts Bay Company, and in 1630 the couple emigrated to America along with Anne's family. (In her work "To My Children" she writes about being afflicted with and recovering from smallpox at age 16 and "[a]fter a short time I changed my condition and was married, and came into this country."[1] ) Her father, Thomas Dudley was to become Deputy Governor of the new Boston settlement, under John Winthrop, while her husband became its Chief Administrator. Both father and husband were involved in establishing Harvard University.

Anne Bradstreet
Initially settling in Salem, then Cambridge, the Bradstreet family soon moved to Ipswich, where Anne began writing poetry while looking after their eight children, as her husband was away on business for extended periods during this time. Anne's poems were intended to be read by close friends and family only, they were never meant for publication. Her brother-in-law, John Woodbridge, however, secretly copied some of her works and took them to England, where they were published in 1650 as, The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, By a Gentlewoman of Those Parts,without Anne’s permission. This was the only collection of her work to be published during her lifetime; the Tenth Muse not being published in America until 1678, when it became the first book written by a womanto be published in America. A second volume, Several Poems Compiled with Great Variety of Wit and Learning,also found its way into print that same year. This second volume contained one of her most famous poems, To My Dear and Loving Husband.After eight or nine years in Ipswich, Massachusetts, the Bradstreet family moved to North Andover, where Anne died in 1672. In 1997, the Bradstreet Gate was opened at Harvard University in her honor, adorned by a plaque with a quote from one of her poems.[2]

From: The Complete Works of Anne Bradstreet (1981):[1]

To My Dear and Loving Husband
By Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

31 Aug 1669, three years prior to her decease, she penned these last lines: [3]

As weary pilgrim, now at rest,
Hugs with delight his silent nest,
His wasted limbs now lie full soft,
That miry steps have trodden oft,
Blesses himself to think upon
His dangers past and travels done,
So I, a pilgrim here, perplext
With sins, with cares and sorrows vext,
By age and pains brought to decay,
And my clay house mouldering away.
O, how I long to be at rest,
And soar on high among the blest;
This body then will sweetly sleep,
Mine eyes no more shall ever weep,
No fainting fits shall me assail,
Nor greivous pains; my body frail,
With cares and fears, ne;er cumbered be,
Nor losses know, nor sorrows see.

Her son, Rev Simon Bradstreet, of New London, Connecticut, said: Being wasted away with consumption, she died at Andover, Monday, September 16th 1672, greatly mourned, and was buried on Wednesday.[4] Her death was also recorded in the Andover records.[5]

An abstract of the 1614 will of Edmund Yorke of Cotton End, Hardingstone, Northamptonshire, Father-in-Law of Gov. Thomas Dudley, was published in the Register in 1893. Author Barry E. Hinman has reviewed the registers of Hardingstone and two parishes in the town of Northampton to produce an expanded account of Edmund Yorke’s family. Dorothy (Yorke) Dudley’s mother was named Katherine, but it is unclear whether she was the Katherine Robins who married Edmund Yorke in 1568.
