What reading level is Ballads of Romance And Chivalry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
] BROWN ADAM +The Text+ is given from the Jamieson-Brown MS. It was first printed byScott, with the omission of the second stanza--perhaps justifiable--anda few minor changes. He notes that he had seen a copy printed on asingle sheet. +The Story+ has a remote parallel in a Danish ballad, extant inmanuscripts of the sixteenth century and later, _Den afhugne Haand_. Thetale is told as follows. Lutzelil, knowing the evil ways of LawiPederson, rejects his proffered love. Lawi vows she shall repent ...it, andthe maiden is afraid for nine months to go to church, but goes atEaster. Lawi meets her in a wood, and repeats his offer. She begs him todo her no harm, feigns compliance, and makes an assignation in thechamber of her maids. She returns home and tells her father, who watchesfor Lawi. When he comes and demands admission, she denies theassignation. Lawi breaks down the door, and discovers Lutzelil’s fatherwith a drawn sword, with which he cuts off Lawi’s hand. The reason for objecting to the second stanza as here given is not somuch the inadequacy of a golden hammer, or the unusual whiteness of thesmith’s fingers, but the rhyme in the third line.
