About the book
An allegorical narrative depicting the journey of a man called Christian from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City.
John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress during his imprisonment for nonconformist preaching. Published in 1678, it follows the character Christian through locations such as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death. The book is written in plain, vigorous English and draws on Bunyan's reading of the Bible and Puritan theology. A second part, following Christian's wife and children, was published in 1684.
