What reading level is Cup of Gold book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
novel. Published in 1929, when Steinbeck was just twenty-seven years old, his first book rings with the clashing blades of dissonant elements. Cup of Gold is an historical novel, a fictive biography that follows the career of the actual Sir Henry Morgan (1635?-1688), England’s infamous “King of the Buccaneers,” with considerable fidelity. Yet the book is indebted not only to history, but to “boy’s own” adventure stories as well as to dramas of the screen and stage— to the swashbuckling romance a...s well as the brutal reality of the pirate tradition. And Cup of Gold is also a literary fantasy wherein the wizard-bard Merlin can instruct the historic Henry Morgan and the Grail quest of Arthurian legend can inform a story set largely in the seventeenth-century Caribbean.
The novel’s experimental style reflects its dueling genres. Inspired by a medieval revival fashionable in the 1920s, Steinbeck juxtaposes modernist prose and naturalistic observation with archaic speech and highly wrought figurative language.
