What reading level is History of Spanish Literature V.1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The eloquence v/hich is found in many passages of the Amadis is not found at all in Esplandian. On the contrary, large portions of it are written in a low and meagre style, and the rhymed arguments prefixed to many of the chapters are anything but poetry, and quite inferior to the few passages of verse scattered through the Amadis.^ ^^ There are two Canciones in Amadis withstanding something of the conceits (Lib. II. c. 8 and c. 11), which, not- of tlieir time, in the Proven (;al manner, Chap. ...XL] OTHER DESCENDANTS OF AMADIS. 245 The oldest edition of the Esplandian now known to exist was printed in 1521, and five others appeared before the end of the century; so that it seems to have enjoyed its full share of popular favor. At any rate, the example it set was quickly followed. Its principal personages were made to figure again in a series of connected romances, each having a hero descended from Amadis, who passes through adven- tures more incredible than any of his predecessors, and then gives place, we know not why, to a son still more extravagant, and, if the phrase may be used, still more impossible, than his father.
