Anne Bradstreet Response

Everybody has a talent in which they want to make a good first impression when they show it off to other people. Anne Bradstreet was no different, especially in a time where women are only looked upon as taking care of the kids and cleaning around the house. “The Author to Her Book” portrays Bradstreet’s love for her work and the internal struggle of embarrassment and shame when it was published. This could be shown through her use of diction, pathos, and figurative language.

There are some parts of the poem where Anne Bradstreet expresses her love for writing and creating new ideas. “Thou ill-formed offspring of my feeble brain, who after birth didst by my side remain…” (Bradstreet, lines 1-2) This is just the beginning of new ideas that she wants to write about. Bradstreet is already calling it her “offspring” or her “child.” When individuals have a possession that they cherish and have great value to them, they often give it a nickname of some sort. For example, when a man has a prize possession, such a car, he refers to it as “baby” or actually gives it a real name. Anne Bradstreet is very similar to that. Her poetry is very valuable to her; it’s what helps her get through the day. Since it’s something she came up with and created from her mind, writing down her ideas in a form of poetry is like giving birth to a child.

There more parts of the poem where Bradstreet is having a conflict involving embarrassment and shame. “Till snatched from thence by friends, less wise than true, who thee abroad, exposed to public view…” (Bradstreet, lines 3-4) Some friends of hers took her writings and published it without her permission. People would define “snatched” as something that’s rude and not the proper way to grab something. Bradstreet used that to convey a sense of betrayal that she may have felt when her work was published. “Made thee in rags, halting to th’ press to trudge, where errors were not lessoned (all may judge). At thy blushing was not small…” (Bradstreet, lines 5-7) She compares her work to rags because it was not finished. There were so many changes and errors she had to correct for it to be “from rags to riches.” Because Bradstreet is a woman, critics are hard on her as it is. Once they look at her unfinished work, they’re going to be even harder on her and completely just put her down. For that, she is “blushing” because she is embarrassed that is was published before she did any editing to it. People may have sympathy towards her because first impressions are everything and her chance of that with that particular piece is over. “My rambling brat (in print) should mother call, I cast thee by as one unfit for light…” (Bradstreet, lines 8-9) The word “rambling” suggests that she had so many thoughts waiting to be expressed in literary excellence but she never got the chance. It wasn’t ready for public view at that moment; therefore, it was “unfit for light.” “I washed thy face, but more defects I saw, and rubbing off a spot still made a flaw.” (Bradstreet, lines 13-14) Bradstreet has a burning desire to erase any errors that was in her published poetry. It still made a flaw because it was already printed. There was nothing she can do because people have already seen her mistakes. Critics were already judging.

Anne Bradstreet has her own unique way to express her feelings through the art of poetry. When you really take the time to study it, you will learn that even you may be able to relate.
