What reading level is Chaucer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A female eagle is wooed by three suitors — all eagles ; but among them the first, or royal eagle, discourses in the manner most likely to conciliate favour. Before the answer is given, a pause furnishes an opportunity to the other fowls for delighting in the sound of their own voices.
Dame Nature proposing that each class of birds shall, througli the beak of its representative " agitator," ex- press its opinion on the problem before the assembly.
There is much humour in the readiness of the goo...se to rush in with a ready-made resolution, and in the smart reproof administered by the sparrow-hawk amidst the up- roar of " the gentle fowls all." At last Nature silences the tumult, and the lady-eagle delivers her answer, to the effect that she cannot make up her mind for a year to come ; but inasmuch as Nature has advised her to choose the royal eagle, his is clearly the most favourable prospect.
Whereupon, after certain fowls had sung a roundel, " as was always the usance," the assembly, like some human Parliaments, breaks up with shouting ; * and the dreamer awakes to resume his reading.
