The
figure of a pilgrim on John Bunyan's tombstone.
John Bunyan died on 31 August 1688.
The Pilgrim Progress is a very influential piece
of work in Protestantism, not bad considering that the author
only had up to four years of schooling, and read
mainly the Bible and some religious books.
The Pilgrim
Progress is an allegory,
a tale about a person named Christian, and his journey through
life.
Bunyan was frequently at loggerheads
with the Quakers during his lifetime. He was in
and out of prison for preaching without a license.
His famous descendant is Diamond
Day singer Vashti Bunyan, who abandoned
her Oxford education to become a hippy.
