TAILIEUCHUNG - The Iron Heel

It cannot be said that the Everhard Manuscript is an important historical document. To the historian it bristles with errors—not errors of fact, but errors of interpretation. Looking back across the seven centuries that have lapsed since Avis Everhard completed her manuscript, events, and the bearings of events, that were confused and veiled to her, are clear to us.

She lacked perspective. She was too close to the events she writes about. Nay she was merged in the events she has described. Nevertheless as a personal document the Everhard Manuscript is of inestimable value. But here again enter error of perspective and vitiation due to the bias of love. Yet we smile indeed and forgive Avis Everhard for the heroic lines upon which she modelled her husband. We know today that he was not so colossal and that he loomed among the events of his times less largely than the Manuscript would lead us to believe.
