What reading level is Chaucer's Franklin's Tale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was Geoffrey from the neighboring town of Monmouth who is the first witness to the tradition, and he makes the heroine receive her name from that of the ancient kingdom of Gwent in which that place was. It is hard therefore to resist the natural conclusion that some story^f the romantic Arveragus (Arve- rius) was current in Geoffrey^ time in South Wales, and that it was the traditional association of the hero with the region of Gloucester that made Geoffrey bring the King Arviragus of Juvena...l into special connection with that city. The love-story of Arveragus (Arverius) had evidently been carried over sometime earlier to Armorica, where it was again local- ized, the existence of Penmarch, the headland in Brittany, serving particularly well to establish it in its new abode. The form of the story in Brittany was doubtless considera- bly different from that in South Wales. It was combined with foreign elements and permeated with a new chivalrous spirit. It was lengthened and elaborated.
