'The fishing manual . is suggestively but not sufficiently characterized by its epigraph from I Thessalonians: "Study to be quiet". Like the pastoral tradition of which it was a part, Walton's Angler reflected on a fractured world by celebrating (and recommending) an order characterized as both "natural" and vulnerable' (ibid.).
