Awakening Words: John Bunyan and the Language of CommunityDavid Gay, James G. Randall, Arlette Zinck University of Delaware Press, 2000 - 223 páginas This study examines Bunyan's questions concerning the power and limitations of language to effect personal, social, and political transformation within and beyond his nonconformist community.
