What reading level is Early English Literature to Wiclif book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this episode figures the lonely castle- hall with the dwarf in attendance. It is, in brief, a conven- tional tale of chivalry. Let us conclude. The early English romance did not, as a whole, reach the level of its French model. Not only the honour of invention must be ascribed to the French (inven- tion in composition, not in material), but also that of a more delicate execution and more harmonious presentation. The frequently abridged English versions are, as a rule, poorer, ruder, and of a... less complete logical structure ; and their ex- celling qualities, a more popular tone, a more vigorous painting within narrower compass, do not make good these defects. But we are charmed by the joy they manifest in nature, in the green forests, and in hunting, and we contem- plate not without satisfaction this rude primeval force that does not exclude deep feeling, even if it often indulges in coarseness. Thus the English muse, if less delicate and dainty than her French sister, was less artificial ; if more pas- sionate, was less lascivious ; and in her enthusiasm for what is grandly colossal, her joy in the actual, she showed, even when repeating foreign romances, many of the features that were to characterise her in the time of her full splendour.
