Allegory in Bunyan´s Pilgrim´s Progress: Spiritual and Psychological Journey to the Self
PECHOVÁ, Hana
This thesis deals with the allegorical features of the novel The Pilgrim?s Progress (1678) by John Bunyan. Based on the comparison with the medieval form of allegory, the morality play, and with regard to the areas of narrative techniques, relationship between verse and prose, and the role of characters in both works, it tries to examine the transition from pure allegory to the modern novel. The connection with the edifying principle typical of Puritan literature is discussed and the aspects of psychological introspection and resulting modernity of the work are stated.
