Abstract

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan, a bestseller in seventeenth-century England, captured the imaginations of its readers and inspired imitations and spurious works. Since its inaugural publication in 1678, numerous sequels, continuations, and adaptations of The Pilgrim’s Progress have been produced. This essay provides examples of those various forms, including prose, poetic, musical, and cinematic adaptations, sequels, and imitations.
