Bunyan Characters: Lectures Delivered in St. George’s Free Church, Edinburgh
In print again at last! BOTH VOLUMES of Alexander Whyte’s seminal analysis of John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress are here printed in a NEW EDITION, exclusively published by CBy. A collection of lectures delivered to St. George’s Free Church at the end of the nineteenth century, each section of the book tackles a different character from both parts of The Pilgrim’s Progress, analysing the inspiration behind them, their role in the allegory and the lesson the Christian reader is meant to take from them. The Pilgrim’s Progress was one of the greatest works of literature in history, but it is only when we see it deconstructed and lain bare that we truly understand and appreciate its superior beauty and majesty of composition, imagery and language.
