Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from John Bunyan, Vol. 1 of 2: His Life, Times and Work
John bunyan, born in the English Midlands, may be taken as in some sensea characteristic representative of the region that gave him birth. For the tract of country between the Trent and the Bedfordshire Ouse, which from its northern half gave the Pilgrim Fathers to New England, furnished from its fens and fields in the south a succession of men of his own sturdy independence of thought, and in strong sym pathy with his, own Puritan faith. In the development of even the most original genius, the environment counts for much it may help us, therefore, 'to a truer estimate of the man if we first briefly recall the spiritual antecedents of the county in which he was born and in which his life was spent.
