John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come, a profound Christian allegory written in the form of a dream vision, was composed primarily during the author's imprisonment in Bedford jail from 1660 to 1672 (with possible completion in a later shorter stint around 1675) for refusing to cease unlicensed preaching under the restored monarchy's restrictions on nonconformist worship. First published in 1678, followed by a second part in 1684 focusing on the journey of Christian's wife Christiana and their children, the work follows the protagonist Christian's perilous pilgrimage from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, encountering symbolic trials, temptations, and companions that vividly illustrate the Puritan understanding of the soul's path to salvation amid spiritual warfare and human frailty. Born in 1628 to a humble tinker family, Bunyan, a Baptist preacher deeply influenced by the Bible and his own intense conversion experience, crafted this enduring masterpiece in simple, vigorous prose accessible to common readers, making it one of the most widely read and translated books in English literature after the Bible, profoundly impacting generations of writers, theologians, and believers with its timeless depiction of faith's triumphs and struggles.
