There are a number of small things that should be corrected e.g. Duggan is described as a British, not English author, dating conventions now use BCE (Before Christian Era) and CE (Christian era) rather than AD but the first section is not a good summary of the plot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinvp11 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 9 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Arthurian connection edit

While relevant to an article on Arthur, I don't see why it needs a section in a review of the novel, particularly since Arthur is a minor character while his predecessor Ambrosius is far more prominent but also one of the very few people the narrator actually admires.

Suggested rewrite of Historical Context and Arthurian sections edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Now I've looked at these in more detail, I'd like to redo them. Some points I've included in the plot review could be moved into the historical section and while I agree this book is one of the few to contain Saxon views on Artos (Arthur) he is a relatively minor player in the novel. Certainly not prominent enough to merit a separate section and if you read this hoping it's part of the Arthurian legend (like Sutcliffe's Sword at Sunset), you'd be disappointed.
