For anyone wishing to acquire or renew an acquaintance with Anne Bradstreet, this is the book of choice." --Leland Ryken, Wheaton College"Puritan pioneer Anne Bradstreet, solid believer, ardent wife, faithful mother, wise woman, and gifted poetess, is a lady well worth meeting. Dr. Nichols arranges that meeting beautifully in these pages, and merits our gratitude for doing so." --J. I. Packer, Regent College"Nichols not only illuminates the poet's life and social context, she makes it possible for a new generation to savor Anne Bradstreet's own words and to share the sorrows, joy, and hope of her inner journey." --Charles Hambrick-Stowe, Northern Seminary, Lombard, Illinois
