18 März 1679 Jahr - "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan

Beschreibung:

- read by Maggie Tulliver in 'Mill on the Floss' by George Eliot

- influenced the name of 1847 novel 'Vanity Fair' by William Makepeace Thackery - from its appearance in Bunyan, "Vanity Fair" was also in general use for "the world" in a range of connotations from the blandly descriptive to the wearily dismissive to the condemning
- by the 18th century, it was generally taken as a playground and, in the first half of the 19th century, more specifically the playground of the idle and undeserving rich

- (similar to Kafka's 'The Castle' as a religious allegory)
