What reading level is Alcuin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The moral education of the impetuous King was a long and tedious matter, but in this Alcuin's chief aid was the interest roused by him in intellectual problems, and in the general atmosphere that a scheme of liberal education produced in a Court formerly given up to sensual pleasure. Einhard's picture of domestic life during his sojourn there breathes an air of discipline and simplicity.
" Whilst the sons perfected themselves in corporeal exercises, rode with their father to the chase, or accom...panied him to battle, that they g 97 ALCUIN might acquire under his own eye that proficiency so necessary to a Frank, the daughters remained at home occupied in weaving or spinning. At dinner the whole family assembled at the same table. When travelling he rode between his sons, and his daughters followed likewise on horseback. " The royal morals were not the only difficulties with which Alcuin had to deal. When we consider the " curriculum ' of the Palace School, it will be very evident that, simple as may have been the mental outlook of Charlemagne, it was impossible to educate him in the same way as a group of young boys and girls.
