The Tenth Muse Criticism
Many critics believe that Bradstreet was a woman who pushed the boundaries of her religion. Fortunately for her, she did not suffer the negative consequences like Anne Hutchinson, who was also a Puritan writer of her time. Other writers such as Ann Stanford and Samuel Eliot Morison have done their own critiquing of Anne Bradstreet's "The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung up in America". Stanford felt that in Bradstreet's second edition of "The Tenth Muse", she used her poetry to go against the Puritan society and should have been labelled as "rebellious" and "independent". On the other hand, Morison praised Bradstreet for being one of the most superior poets of her time.
