What reading level is A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections On the Art of Living (Collected Works of Joseph Campbell) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the words of the poet Wolfram von Eschenbach…describing his Grail Hero’s childhood in the forest: “Of sorrow he knew nothing, unless it was the birdsong above him; for the sweet-ness of it pierced his heart and made his little bosom swell: His nature and his yearning so compelled him.”24 His widowed, noble mother, in their forest retreat had told him of God and Satan, “distinguished for him dark and light.”25 However, in his own deeds light and dark were mixed. He was not an angel or a saint,... but a living, questing man of deeds, gifted with paired virtues of courage and compassion, to which was added loyalty. And it was through his steadfast-ness in these—not supernatural grace—that he won, at last, to the Grail.26 Parzival makes two visits to the Grail Castle. The first is a failure. The Grail King is a wounded man, whose nature has been broken by castration in a battle. Parzival spontaneously wishes to ask him, “What is wrong?" But then, he has been told that a knight does not ask questions, and so, in order to preserve the image of himself as a noble knight, he restrains his natural impulse of compassion, and the Grail quest fails.
