What reading level is Essays On Medieval Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The beginning of right acquaint- ance with Chaucer is the conviction that nothing represents him except the whole body of his writings. So one is brought round to Dryden's comfortable and sufficient formula : " Here is God's plenty. " From the energy and the volume of his Trojan story, as glorious as his Trojan river : And thou, Simoys, that as an arwe clere Through Troie rennest ay downward to the se ; from the passion and the music of that " tragedie " to the doleful voices of Melibeus> there... is no form or mood, no fashion of all the vanities, that is not in some way or other represented there. GOWER. GOWER has not lacked praise in his day ; few authors have a better record. To be ranked along with Chaucer, " superlative as poets laureate, " to receive, along with Chaucer, the homage of all the notable English and Scottish poets for more than a century, and still to be remembered with esteem in the days of Shakespeare this is the reward of Gower's learn- ing and diligence. Naturally there is much to set off on the other side.
