ENGL 1289 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Anne Bradstreet, Maternal Bond, Melodrama
Document Summary
Creativity that we evoke through classical, and speaking about their own creativity, or their limitations to their own creativity. First and last writers speak about religious piety in different ways. Through recognition of being a mother, sentimental melodrama, direct address. Hand in hand in utc and incidences of a life of a slave girl (and runaway slave) Even the early writers like anne bradstreet and cavendish speak about their books as their children. They both use maternal bond to connect with their reader. Can"t blame me for how i"m feeling. Sex is not a social construction (for this class) Gender is though (woman, girl, taught, conditioned) If you can build and create, you can take it down as well. Use of irony (anna bradstreet is not really ironic she really feels it) The apology doesn"t mean what we think of it as humility.
