... I +didn't+ know about this, so thanks. But I'm a bit iffy about Twayne
... Any more detail?

Fair -- we're crossed on this. I was thinking on the two 17thC editions,
plus the MS notebook.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be snappy. But my sense is that Anne Bradstreet was
pretty much dismissed till the fifties. And the Berryman poem made a
difference. But your listing of the (re)editions counters this.
Sure, "Homage" didn't come out of nowhere, but Berryman as a "scholar" isn't
to be ignored -- he could make his own judgements.

Ouch! K, I withdraw.
