What reading level is Further Essays On Border Ballads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We must now consider the stanzas which, as a matter of fact, do intervene. There are seven (16-22) ; the first four relate a very gallant exploit on the part of a Scottish knight, kSir Hew Montgomery, who kills Percy ; the last three recount the knight's death at the hand of an English archer. Do these belong to the historical ballad of Otter- burn ? or to the ballad entitled ' The Percy and the Montgomery met, ' mentioned in the Comjjiaint of Scotland ? or to the fictitious ballad of Chevy- 68... BORDER BALLADS Chase ? And, if to the last named, are they not at least based on history, or on ballads relating to the battle of Otterburn ?
Now, were it not for the introduction of Sir Hew Montgomery's name, I should not hesitate to leave them where we find them in the ballad of Chevy- Chase, for nothing would have been more likely than that the composer of this fictitious ballad should have balanced the death of one leader by that of the other, and should have also introduced into it the death of the Scottish knight.
