2: Personalization: .
Puritan Age marked with the works which were highly personalized as they were produced only for the personal purposes and not for the sake of public. Generally, these were written for a specific person. The most prominent writer in this regard is Anne Bradstreet. She wrote epitaphs for her father and mother, which showed her love and affection for her parents. These epitaphs also served the purpose of presenting the models of male and female behavior in the Puritan culture. In an Epitaph on her mother, she wrote:.
"A loving mother and obedient wife,/ A friendly neighbor, pitiful to poor,/ whom oft she fed, and clothed with her store,/".
In epitaph on her father, she stated:.
"That was both pious, just and wise,/ To truth a shield, to right a wall,/ To sectaries a whip and maul,/ A magazine of history,/ A prizer of good company,/ ".
Similarly, the poem "To my Dear and Loving Husband" by Anne.
.
Bradstreet was also a personal piece of work which was published in 1650, apparently without her knowledge. She loved her husband very much and to express her love she wrote scads of poems among which "To my dear and loving husband" was a beautiful one and reminds us to Shakespearean sonnets.
