About this book

The Pilgrim’s Progress From This World, To That Which Is To Come, written by writer and preacher John Bunyan while in prison, is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature. In the Christian allegory, the characters function as embodiments of the moral qualities in their names: Christian, Christiana, Great-heart, and Hopeful, to name a few.

From the publisher

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

First Edition Identification

Though it now appears in one volume, Nathaniel Ponder of London originally published the two parts of The Pilgrim’s Progress separately, printing Part 1 in 1678 and Part II later, in 1684. Part I of the Pilgrim’s Progress quickly sold out, requiring a second edition within the year. The next year, a third edition — the definitive edition of the book ­­— was printed, with revisions as well as a number of scenes added by Bunyan.
