To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet

4 Extra Debut. Poet Daljit Nagra chooses Adventures in Poetry featuring the story behind Anne Bradstreet's poem To My Dear and Loving Husband. From November 2009.

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's radio poetry archive with 'Adventures in Poetry' featuring the story behind Anne Bradstreet's poem 'To My Dear and Loving Husband'.

Anne's poem has been anthologised in many collections of love poetry. How did a near-invalid woman, enduring not only the privations of migrating to the New World but also the stifling Puritan ethic established there, manage to write something so warm and personal that it still speaks to us today?

Producer: Christine Hall

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in 2009.
