John Bunyan writes the second part of The Pilgrim's Progress, published in 1684 in London.

In contrast to the heroic journey of Christian recounted in Part 1, Bunyan relates the pilgrimage of Christian's wife, Christiana; their sons; and the maiden, Mercy, to better allegorize the journey of the Christian life.

By using women, children, and physically and mentally challenged individuals, the Christian preacher and Bedford native illustrates the idea that almost anyone can be can be a brave pilgrim.
