Born in 1488 and, like Wycliffe, a native of Yorkshire ("Coverdale" is the name of his native district), Miles Coverdale was raised by and joined the Augustine monks in Cambridge.
One of his converts later confessed to the Bishop of London that he and Coverdale had discussed Erasmus' works, and that Coverdale had said that confession to God alone was sufficient, and preached against transubstantiation and the worship of images.
Coverdale was also responsible for the first complete Bible actually printed in England, by James Nycholson of Southwark in 1537, based on the 1535 folio; the quarto edition (a gem of Dr. Scott's Bible Collection) has the royal license on the general title page.

Miles Coverdale, afterwards bishop of Exeter, although inferior to Tindale in scholarship, was at least as closely connected with the English version.
The work, when it appeared (1535), was said to be translated from the Dutch (i.e., German) and Latin, and not to be for the maintenance of any sect; Coverdale recognised the previous labours of others, which he had, indeed, largely used, and he drew upon the Zürich Bible as well as upon Tindale’s editions.
Convocation, however, soon asked again for a new translation, and the second edition of Coverdale’s work—published (1537) both in folio and quarto, and the first Bible printed in England—was licensed by the king.

It is only after Coverdale has considered Zenobia's other traits and she undergoes her radical transformation, in the final scene at Eliot's Pulpit, that he begins to recognize the extent of his feelings for her.
Coverdale is finally able to display some of the love he feels for Hollingsworth, but it is not until Hollingsworth drops many of the traits which originally held him afar.
Because Priscilla does not dominate the conversation and stand out in a crowd, as Hollingsworth does, Coverdale is able to appreciate her tenderness and love for life (characteristics she shares with Hollingsworth, but that are often lost in his gruff, dominating personality).

Miles is attracted to (and, as the narrator, chooses to emphasize) the helplessness in her ¾the very trait which is opposite of that which he finds unattractive in Zenobia.

Despite the obvious parallels between Hawthorne and his protagonist, Miles Coverdale, readers may savor the storyline at face value; while Hawthorne was actually engaged during his time at Brook Farm, Miles remained a "frosty bachelor" all his days, despite his last-line confession.
Miles undergoes several transformations of opinion and feelings for the three who fascinate him.
Much of the humor that is in the book is centered around the narrator, Coverdale, whose nature forces him to fit in with his surroundings in a way which is a bit askew, precipitating enjoyable scenes which the reader can appreciate, if he or she has refrained from judging this main character.

 Blithedale Study Guide
Many critics also associate Coverdale with Miles Standish, a British soldier (lat., Miles) who helped to "settle" the New World.
Coverdale seems to use "cover" in another way as well--he watches others from the cover of different hiding places.
While this creates the illusion of power (that the voyeur is somehow controlling others while evading their control), because he acts (hides) according to others (to avoid them), however, he is at best powerless and at worst completely at the mercy of others' activities.
