Sinopsis

The PilgrimâÇÖs Progressáis a 1678áChristianáallegoryáwritten byáJohn Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works ofátheological fictionáináEnglish literatureáand a progenitor of the narrative aspect ofáChristian media.áIt has been translated into more than 200 languages and never been out of print.áIt appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727. The first North American edition was issued in 1681.áIt has also been cited as theáfirst novel written in English.áAccording to literary editor Robert McCrum, 'thereâÇÖs no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal BunyanâÇÖs masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse asáWilliam Hogarth,áC. S. Lewis,áNathaniel Hawthorne,áHerman Melville,áCharles Dickens,áLouisa May Alcott,áGeorge Bernard Shaw,áWilliam Thackeray,áCharlotte Bronte,áMark Twain,áJohn SteinbeckáandáEnid Blyton.áThe words on which theáhymná'To be a Pilgrim' is based, come from the novel.Bunyan began his work while in theáBedfordshireácountyáprisonáfor violations of theáConventicle Act of 1664, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the establishedáChurch of England. Early Bunyan scholars such asáJohn BrownábelievedáThe PilgrimâÇÖs Progressáwas begun in BunyanâÇÖs second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675, but more recent scholars such as Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during BunyanâÇÖs initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660 to 1672 right after he had written his spiritual autobiographyáGrace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners
