Detailed explanation-1: -Anne Bradstreet was in most ways quite typically Puritan.

Detailed explanation-2: -Long considered primarily of historical interest, she won critical acceptance in the 20th century as a writer of enduring verse, particularly for her sequence of religious poems, “Contemplations, ” written for her family and not published until the mid-19th century.
