What reading level is A Short History of German Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He holds on high, that the whole world may see it, the open Bible. Now across the scene is thrown for us the Titanic shadow of Luther.
CHAPTER VIII.
LUTHER IN LITERATURE.
"With regard to many a famous historical character, the judgment of the world in our time has been re- versed. Names that have been revered have come to be treated with contumely ; names that have been contemned have come to be treated with respect.
Scholars have satisfied themselves that Tiberius Caesar and Nero have not rece...ived justice. Though we may not entirely trust Mr. Froude, no candid reader will hereafter feel disposed to set aside Henry VIII. as simply brutal and cruel ; on the other hand, we cannot hold Archbishop Cranmer to have been simply a great benefactor. Hepworth Dixon shows plainly that the character of Bacon has been much maligned. With regard to Luther, there has been a twofold judgment : the Catholic world holding him to have been Anti-christ, — little better than Satan himself ; the Protestant world considering him the greatest name in the Church since the days of the apostles.
