I was thinking on the two 17thC editions, plus the MS notebook. > As I said, don't remember. And don't have the books, neither. 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. > >Name five (other than the Sainted Emily). > > Known to Ransom et all?

As in Britain the woman poet was quite the figure. Ouch! K, I withdraw. Cheers, Robin
