Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Life and Death of Mr. Badman" by John Bunyan is a fiction book published in 1680. Designed as a companion to The Pilgrim's Progress, this work presents a dialogue between Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Attentive about the life of a wicked man who died without honor. Through their conversation about sin and redemption, Bunyan offers a cautionary tale meant to warn readers against wickedness and debauchery. Scholars have described it as an English precursor to the novel, particularly the picaresque form.
