Description
James Anthony Froude wrote Bunyan for the English Men of Letters series, edited by John Morley, printed in London in 1880. Froude opens with Bunyan's own account of his birth: of a low and inconsiderable generation, his father's house of the meanest rank in the land. He never went to school to Aristotle or Plato, but grew up among poor countrymen in his father's house at Elstow, near Bedford, in 1628.
Ten chapters follow conviction of sin, Grace Abounding, and a call to the ministry. Arrest and trial lead to the Bedford gaol, then to The Life and Death of Mr. Badman and The Holy War. The Pilgrim's Progress gets its own chapter, with last days and death to close. Froude holds that no books save the Bible have shaped English spiritual opinion more. The life is short, vivid, and warm.
