What reading level is A Century of French Fiction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One feels more sympathy, more affection even, for the ani- mal fidelity of Big Nanon, or for the plaintive virginity of Mile. Cormon, the " old maid. " One is far more affected even by that other old maid, Sophie Gamard, or by the dia- bolical Sylvie Rogron. And so, too, with the married women, and those who should have been. As a physician feels at home in a hospital, so Balzac is more at ease with the morally sick, maimed, or deformed, whether the disease be mild and infantile as in Modeste M...ignon, or cancerous and mortal as in Madame Cibot, or distorting and half ridiculous as in Madame Soudry and Madame Camus, or ravenously wolfish as in Madame Evangelista. These women have bartered themselves more or less successfully for social position and money, and they will barter their daughters for the same and think they are doing them a good service. Then there are the forerunners of the new woman, Madame de la Baudraye, Madame de Bargeton, or the more frankly unconventional Duchess of Maufrigneuse and Duchess of Langeais.
