What reading level is Elizabethan Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor does Sidney show any original faculty for prose or even a keen eye for normal construction in his portion of the transla- tion of the French treatise De la Verite de la Religion chrestienne of his friend De Mornay a task which he bega, but had to leave to his friend, Arthur Golding, to finish (1587). The opening sentence runs : Such as make profession to teach us, do say they never find less what to say than when the thing which they treat of is more manifest and more known of itself than a...ll that can be alleged for the setting forth thereof. It faithfully follows the original. Golding, had he had any natural gift, might have acquired a prose style from Calvin, many of whose volumes he translated into English, thereby helping to affect the development of English prose anew as it had been affected fifty years before by the early Protestant controversy. Calvin was a great prose writer : the voluble De Mornay was not, and Sidney 120 ELIZABETHAN LITERATURE probably learned little from translating him.
