(John Napper) Worsfold, John Napper The Vaudois of Piedmont: A Visit to Their Valleys Produced by Brownfox and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Vaudois of Piedmont: A Visit to Their Valleys" by J. N. Worsfold is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the journey of the author, a devoted pastor, as he explores the Waldensian valleys while shedding light on the remarkable history, struggles, and resilience of the Vaudois people, a group known for their Protestant faith and enduring suffering due to religious persecution. The opening of the text sets the stage for Worsfold's journey, launching on an Easter Monday in 1871 as he departs Pallanza with a fellow pastor to visit the historical valleys of Piedmont. As they travel, the author provides vivid descriptions of the beautiful Italian landscape while referencing significant historical contexts that shaped the Vaudois community. He emphasizes their past suffering, the impact of political and religious liberties gained in recent years, and introduces figures from the Waldensian Church, hinting at the rich history that will be explored throughout the work. Worsfold’s account reveals both the scenic and complex cultural backdrop of these valleys, establishing a narrative that interweaves travelogue with the commemoration of a resilient faith tradition.
