| Notes: | Christian travels on the road to salvation from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. Written in homely yet dignified biblical prose, the work has some of the qualities of a folktale, and in its humor and realistic portrayals of Mr. Worldly Wiseman, Faithful, Hopeful, Pliant and Obstinate, it anticipates the 18th-century novel. COMMENTS — The full title is The Pilgrim’s Progress From This World, to That Which is to Come: Delivered Under the Similitude of a Dream Wherein is Discovered, the Manner of His Setting Out, His Dangerous Journey; and Safe Arrival at the Desired Countrey. Bunyan’s later work, The Pilgrim’s Progress, Second Part, deals with the effort of Christan’s wife and sons to join him. |
