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.
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.
