"The speaker of Sexton's poems dwells with husband and
children in affluent, white Protestant America just
after the death of JFK . . . More than a century
earlier, Hawthorne had created in The Scarlet Letter a
sexual female protagonist, Hester Prynne -- to exhibit
her leading a life of disgrace at the margins of the
town because of her sin of adultery. In Sexton's New
England the margins of town have been transformed into
suburbia, and adultery looms as the next horizon of
sexual destiny, once marriage and childbirth have
ripened a woman's body and mapped her pleasure
centers. In 1969 this was new; no woman had published
such poems in English for centuries." -- from the
foreword by Diane Wood Middlebrook
