The Puritan People Puritans are often stereotyped as black-clad self- righteous moralists. Usually, calling a person a Puritan is not a compliment. However, this Negative Image is mostly brought about by the sterotypes of the 16 th Century Puritans. This Negative Image is actually Largely Untrue.

The Truth about the Puritans They valued Hard Work and Self-Sacrifice. They viewed Wealth as a reward for a virtuous life. They valued family life, community, service, art, and literature. They were the first in the colonies to establish printing press, free public grammar schools, and a college (Harvard).

In Regards to their Religion… Puritans were Arrogant in their religious faith. They were completely intolerant of viewpoints (and religions) and were different from their own. They focused on Other Christians in an effort to root out the Devil Harshly punished others for their beliefs (including with execution).

Key Beliefs of the Puritans Human beings are inherently evil and so must struggle to overcome their sinful nature. Personal salvation depends solely on the grace of God, not on individual effort. (Predestination)

The Bible is the supreme authority on earth. – Bible governs moral/spiritual life – Bible also governs church and society as a whole – Result= Churches more democratic (congregation- centered) – Result= Repressive political system &intolerant of others. Key Beliefs of the Puritans (cont)

Poems of Anne Bradstreet street.jpg bradstreet.jpg Bradstreet.JPG

Anne Bradstreet Anne Bradstreet wrote Puritan Poetry. She lived from 1612 until 1672 and she was the first notable American Poet in the colonies. She was born in England, married in 1628, and by 1630 she was sailing to Massachusetts Bay with her Husband. Despite her domestic (she had 8 kids) and religious responsibilities she managed to fund time to write some Puritan Poetry. mainstreetmallonline.com

Anne Bradstreet (cont) Most poetry in the 17 th century New England was mostly devotional in nature. Bradstreet’s poems were unusual due to the personal subject matter of them. – They focused on the realities of life. – They also viewed life in spiritual (Puritan) context. This is because she never planned for these poems to be published! Her brother-in-law published them without her knowing jpg

Some terms you need to know (pg 138) Meter: 1) the repetition of a regular rhythmic unit in a line of poetry. – each unit is known as a foot. Each foot has 1 stressed syllable (̒) & 1 (or 2) unstressed syllables (˘) “In silent night when rest I took” (from “Upon the Burning of Our House) Iambic Tetrameter (“Husband”=Iambic Pentameter) – Iambic Tetrameter=unstressed-stressed / # of feet = 4 – Iambic Pentameter=unstressed-stressed / # of feet = 5)

More word you need to know Archaic Language: Words that were once commonly used in the past, but are now out-of- date Examples Include: Thee Ye Thou All of these mean… You.

Last word... For these notes at least (promise) Inverted Syntax: Reversal of expected order of words – For example: Bradstreet says “when rest I took” instead of “When I took rest”
