- Synopsis
- This book, the most perfect allegory ever produced, has been more widely read in English than any other book except the Bible. The English of the book is pure and strong; but its great power lies neither in its English nor in the perfection of the allegory, but in the fact that in picturing his own religious struggles, Bunyan pictured those of other men as well. Stylistically, Bunyan combines simplicity with rare earnestness. He had something to say, and in his in most soul he felt that this something was of supreme importance for all time. He also had a rare combination of imagination and dramatic power. His abstractions became living persons. It would be difficult to find English prose that is more simple, earnest, strong, imaginative, and dramatic than this work. Bunyan's style felt the shaping influence of the Bible more than of all other works combined. He knew the Scriptures almost by heart. It is no wonder that in the allegories of the world's literature, The Pilgrim's Progress stands out as a masterpiece written to people of every age and condition.
