The gauntlet was thrown down by Dave Nardone, said Bruce Turgiss (AHS '80). Nardone had been a star on the junior varsity basketball team that had just completed an undefeated, 18-0, season, and he knew he'd move to Coach Wil Hixon's varsity the next season. He was speaking to Turgiss and Bob Meier, who together would form the backcourt on the season's (1978 - 79) JV team. Nardone's challenge was that Turgiss and Meier's team would never duplicate the undefeated season. Bruce said the conversation...

Anne Bradstreet was one of our earliest feminists and the first true poet in the American colonies. This collection of her extant poetry and prose, scrupulously edited by Jeannine Hensley, has long been the standard edition of Bradstreet's work. Hensley's introduction sketches the poet's life, and Adrienne Rich's foreword offers a sensitive critique of Bradstreet as a person and as a writer. The John Harvard Library edition includes a chronology of Bradstreet's life and an updated bibliography.

The Right to Write examines how the early American poets Anne Bradstreet and Phillis Wheatley gained agency within a traditionally patriarchal field of literary production. Tracing the careers of Bradstreet and Wheatley through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Engberg shows that these women used their positions within society to network themselves into publication. Each woman represents a unique way in which a majority of early American women negotiated their roles as both women and writers...

This essay will explore, through an analysis of Surrey's Sonnet 12 ("Alas so all thinges nowe doe holde their peace"), the significance of Surrey's work in the context of sixteenth century English poetry. It will be argued that Surrey's greatest contribution in this regard was not in terms of poetic talent. His sonnets do not leave the reader "breathless" in admiration as do so many of Shakespeare's. Similarly, although his sonnets are often modeled on works by the Italian master Petrarch, they are...
