This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... INTRODUCTION John Bunyan, the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, was born in 1628 and died in 1688. Thus he lived through the_s&ringjimeajoltJie.CiYiLWar, the Republic of Cromwell, and the Restoration of the Stuart Kings; and he died just before their final overthrow in the Rwolution__of 1688. Bunyan himself served a short time as a soldier, although where and on which side is not known; but, in any case, the great allegory reflects very little of the warfare, the party-strife and political V ups and downs of the century. It was also the time of Milton and Dryden, Butler and Marvell; but The Pilgrim's Progress is as much outside the formal literature of the period as it is outside its political history. These things are so, because The Pilgrim's Progress is a story about no one man and of no one age. The pilgrim called "Christian" is not a fakir or ascetic, as the Indian youth is apt to suppose; hejs every ordinary Christian man, engaged at his every day trade or profession, who is trying earnestly, all the time, to know about God, to do everything in Christ's spirit, and, in short, to live so that he may reach heaven at last. And the Progress, we may add, does not mean the advance vii or improvement in the pilgrim, as it would mean in Modern English; iW)nly_ means__tfje. journey of the pilgrim, in the old sense in which we still use the word wEen we call a king's journey "a royal progress." The subject therefore is not restricted to any individual, any age, or any country, Jor it is .the universally human theme of man's struggle with the moral evil that is in him or influencing him. Nor is interest in the subject limited to Christian lands or Christian people. Bunyan's pilgrim "overcomes the world" by faith in Jesus Christ, and that is...

Excerpt from Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress Two other changes adapt this edition to its particular use. Bunyan's marginal explanations, though they are sometimes racy, are now quite superfluous for people accustomed to read currently; and the marginal references to the Bible are equally superfluous for a generation well supplied with concordances. Moreover these marginal notes, if indeed they were used, might be a distraction, instead of a help, in the school study of literature. Therefore they have been omitted.

John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress was the second most widely and deeply read book in the English-speaking world for many, many years, the Bible being the first. Bunyan lived during the turbulent times of English Civil War and strife between the Established Church of England and the Nonconformists. Parliment and the Nonconformists went to war against King Charles and the Church of England (1642-1648). At age sixteen, Bunyan was drafted into the Protestant army and served two years. The Nonconformists, under Oliver Cromwell won, and Bunyan returned to Bedford, married, was baptized, and travelled the preaching circuit, where he became widely known for his powerful message. When Oliver Cromwell died, his dictatorship fell with him, and Charles II, (son of the beheaded Charles I) came to power, as did the Church of England. Bunyan was sent to jail in 1660 because he refused to stop preaching, and remained there for twelve years, until Charles II suspended all laws against the Nonconformists. The first part of Pilgrim's Progress, most of which had been written in jail, was published in 1678. Part two was published in 1684. As originally written, John Bunyan's narrative of the pilgrim Christian and his wife, Christina, is difficlut to read and out of date. For the person who may love to read passages over and over, with a dictionary of middle English and Anglo-Saxon words in his lap, the orginal edition is a delight. However, hurdle after hurdle destroys the cadence and rhythm of Bunyan's prose. Nor is the average reader aware that many of the words used by Bunyan have changed in meaning, at times drastically. It is the translation of obscufre medievel Anglo-Saxon words which is this edition's most valuable contribution. For the reader anxious to return to the language of Bunyan's original edition, he or she may now do so fully armed with knowledge of the change of meaning in words, and a true "translation" of the more obscure passages of The Pilgrim's Progress.
