John Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress'

Abstract: An 8 page essay that discusses how Bunyan used his book to reflect not only the religious arguments of his day but also the 'political' and 'everyman' characters behind the story--within both an individual and universal framework. The paper posits that the 'little book' was, in fact, complex in its use of characterization, allegory and setting, and uses supporting evidence from Martin Luther, Erasmus, The Bible, and commentary from George Bernard Shaw and a number of other writers. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
