The Pilgrim's Progress (Part I 1678/Part II 1684) holds a unique place in the history of English literature. No other seventeenth-century work except the King James Bible, nothing from the pen of a writer of Bunyan's social class in any period, and no other Christian work, has enjoyed such an extensive readership.

Bunyan captures the speech of ordinary people as accurately as he depicts their behaviour and appearance and as firmly as he realizes their inner emotional and spiritual life. The tale is related in language remarkable for its beauty and simplicity, and is spiced with Bunyan's acute and satirical perceptions of the vanity and hypocrisy of his own society.

评分“一副天然的幻境,真实和虚妄的对照。” ——莎士比亚《第十二夜》 《天路历程》的读法有很多种了:纯粹的宗教劝谕之作、寓言甚至是班扬的自传,比如Thomas Scott注释版的《天路历程》里,第一句话就被认为与班扬在贝德福德(Bedford)的牢狱生涯有关:“我在旷野里行走,来到...
