A Turbulent, Seditious and Factious People

John Bunyan and His Church

New Paperback

Postscript summary

Christopher Hill’s classic biography of John Bunyan sets the author of The Pilgrim’s Progress within the political, religious and literary contexts of the revolutionary 17th-century England in which he lived. Focusing on the nonconformism that brought Bunyan into conflict with the Quakers and led to his imprisonment, Hill reassesses the allegories and ironies of the tinker-preacher’s influential writings.
