To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus Gerald's young ambition was thwarted. But he was one of those strong men who are never on nodding terms with defeat and who pursue with iron will their purposes in season and out of season. Other bishoprics — Bangor, Llandaff, and an Irish see or two — were offered him at different times, but he rejected them all. In seeking the million, he was quite content to miss the unit. Twenty years later, when the see of St. David's was again without a head, Giraldus entered the lists with character...- istic energy. Then began for the restless archdeacon a period of strenuous seeking, far journeying, long soliciting, with the coveted mitre ever dangling before his keen eyes but ever elud- ing his grasp. Now he is in a dreary corner of Wales winning the suffrages of the canons, now trailing in England or Nor- mandy a vagrant king, now questing papal favor on the long.
A MedicBval Egotist 7 rough roads that lead to Rome. It is on these Roman journeys that the dauntless temper of the man is most picturesquely re- vealed; and, as we follow him on his solitary way through the grim forest of Ardennes, along the dangerous marches of Cham- pagne and Burgundy, over the snowy Alps in midwinter, we recall the adventures of his near-namesake, Gerard, the hero of Charles Reade's wonderful story, on those same terrible paths.
