- ... one of Taylor's most important works, he celebrates God's power in the triumph of good over evil in the human soul. All of Taylor's poetry and much of Bradstreet's served generally personal ends, and their audience often consisted of themselves and their family and closest friends. This tradition of private poetry, kept in manuscript and circulated among a small and intimate circle, continued throughout the colonial period, and numerous poets of the 17th and 18th centuries remained unknown to the general public until long after their deaths. For them, poetry was a kind of heightened letter writing that reaffirmed the ties of family and friends. Taylor's poems remained unpublished until 1939, when The Poetical Works of Edward Taylor appeared. Many of Bradstreet's most personal poems also remained unpublished during her lifetime.

Throughout we know that behind the narrator there is a man with a personal history, which also enters the poem. (138-39) C. S.

A whole series of evangelic congregations appeared in the early decades of the nineteenth century in order to serve the poor, the emotionally needy, those barred from the new prosperousness, hopefulness, forbearance, personal freedom and sensible thought of the business classes. Combining good narrative skills,excellent characterization, and historic detail, Johnson and Wilentz recreate the engaging tale of a hypocritical prophet and his erroneous followers in New York ... s cover up of the Folgers actions and the wife switching at the kingdom was clearly refuted by vales volumes even if no one really read them.
