To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She may guide them a little yet. They bear the torch whilethere is an ember left. Then comes the changeful fortune of war, defeatand imprisonment; and now we see the same poor human heart, its visionssoiled and clouded, its courage beaten down, surrounded only by enemiesand scoffers, beginning even to suspect itself of imposture and impiety. She who had felt as a saint, hears herself exorcised as a sorcerer; and, by and by, a crowd of men, churchmen and civilians, stand round intriumph to see h...er burnt and consumed as a thing unholy and impure, whose life had been, not, as she had deemed, a perpetual devotion, but aperpetual blasphemy.
But although it appears to us that this, which is the true historicalpoint of view, is also the most replete with poetic interest, it may notbe an interest so well adapted to the drama as to other species ofpoetry. The heroine is here made the prey of the two rival factions, whoappear to contend, not only for the possession of her person, but forthe domination over her mind; not enough is attributed to her individualwill and character; the action of the piece does not immediately flowfrom her; and the people, with its strange faiths and monstrouscaprices, becomes the veritable hero.
