Rating[edit]

How much more needs to be written before this is no longer a stub?

Themes and Setting in History[edit]

This section has no place in the article, it is nothing but user contributed synthesis. There are no references that mention the book and the 'well told' part is unsourced. GimliDotNet^{(Speak to me,Stuff I've done)} 14:25, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The ruling theme is the importance of humility and human kindness, as the letter of the law is not sufficient for goodness or justice. Without humility, pride in the rule grows to a sin, and misery for all around, forgotten almost in the perfection of the self. The legal rigidity unleavened by humility contained in the learned Father Ailnoth makes one glad of his death, and agree with the views of the Verger.

Who has given this conclusion?

The turn of events in the Anarchy are well told in this novel.

Says who?

The frost coming so very late in the year is typical of that era.

What's the source for this?

No longer says "well told" but "as told". Direct match to referenced wikipedia entries.

Talk of the later frost modified to explain it how it was used in the plot, not the era.

Two sources added for shortened theme statement, one is another wikipedia entry. Are those two enough? Given as quotes, not Reference note.
