What reading level is Byron in Love book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Everything about it was to his liking, the gloomy gaiety of the gondolas, the silence of the city, beauty inseparable from decay, and soon carnival, masquerade, balls and whores. Within four days he had secured a gondola, stabled his horses on the Lido, found an apartment close to St Mark’s Square and enrolled in the monastery on the island of San Lazzaro, to take lessons in Armenian, his mind in need of something craggy ‘to torture [himself] into action’. He had also fallen in love with Mariann...a Segati, the wife of his landlord. ‘Pretty as an antelope, with large black oriental eyes, glossy hair, the voice of a lute, graces worthy of the Songs of Solomon’ and the naïveté which he always found pleasing in a woman, which is how he described her to John Murray, adding that no twenty-four hours passed without ‘giving and receiving unequivocal proofs of mutual contentment’. Byron’s letters to Murray are unique in the exchange between publisher and author; authors write about their angst, their families, their impecuniousness, but hardly the intimacies of the boudoir.Marianna’s nemesis came in the person of another fiery young woman, Margarita Cogni, the Fornarina, wife of a baker, also young, with tantalising black eyes, the Venetian looks and the spirit of a tigress.
