A poet unusually versatile for his time and place, Steere adds a dimension to the study of 17th century American poetry. His career also enlarges the historical record regarding social, political, economic, and legal conditions in Restoration Britain and her colonies. Steere's protests in 1695 against the imprisonment of a radical sectarian constitute a significant early defense of liberty of conscience in America.
