What reading level is Carven From the Laurel Tree Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not so much what the goods are, that matters. It is what the buyers are willing to pay. ' The condemnation of usury was not, as some would suppose who cannot understand the Mediaeval objection to the system, an instance of archaic ec- clesiastical restriction, but was bred in bones of the normal man, a universal hatred for something loath- some and obscene. Chaucer's Prioress spoke for her age: ' There was in Asia, in a greet citee, Amongfes Christen folk, a Jewerye, Sustened by a lord of... that contree For foule usure and lucre of vilanye, Hateful to Christ and to his companye. ' To-day usury is a word which is but rarely used, more rarely still with fit abhorrence. Indeed, not long ago a great London newspaper carried on a controversy as to whether ' The Merchant of Venice ' was Semitic or anti-semitic in intention and yet had only one, a belated contributor, who would mention the thing which the whole play was about. The word usury was not so much taboo as forgotten.
Against usury the guildmen set their faces like flints.
