The Pilgrim's Progress, arguably the most influential religious book ever written in the English language, is an absorbing allegorical account of the journey of Christian, a tormented Everyman, from life in the City of Destruction, burdened by fear of damnation, to eternal salvation in the Celestial City. Nearly 350 years after it appeared, its phrases are still part of our shared language – from the Slough of Despond to Vanity Fair – and it continues to speak to modern readers, with its evocative descriptions of the doubts, fears, trials and temptations of earthly existence.
