John Bunyan was a major figure in seventeenth-century Puritan
literature, and one deeply embroiled in the religious upheavals of
his times. This Companion considers all his major texts, including
The Pilgrim's Progress and his autobiography Grace Abounding. The
essays, by leading Bunyan scholars, place these and his other works
in the context of seventeenth-century history and literature. They
discuss such key issues as the publication of dissenting works, the
history of the book, gender, the relationship between literature
and religion, between literature and early modern radicalism, and
the reception of seventeenth-century texts. Other chapters assess
Bunyan's importance for the development of allegory, life-writing,
the early novel and children's literature. This Companion provides
a comprehensive and accessible introduction to an author with an
assured and central place in English literature.
