Graceful Reading is a study of the writings of the 17th-century preacher John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim’s Progress . The book reassesses the relationship between Bunyan’s theology and his narrative style, redefining them both according to a more specific understanding of 17th-century “Calvinism”, and a more “postmodernist” understanding of narrative.
