What reading level is Holland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ghent, Tournay, Valenciennes, Mechlin, and other cities, were nextthe theatres of similar excesses; and in an incredibly short spaceof time above four hundred churches were pillaged in Flanders andBrabant. Zealand, Utrecht, and others of the northern provinces, suffered more or less; Friesland, Guelders, and Holland aloneescaped, and even the latter but in partial instances.
These terrible scenes extinguished every hope of reconciliationwith the king. An inveterate and interminable hatred was n...owestablished between him and the people; for the whole nationwas identified with deeds which were in reality only shared bythe most base, and were loathsome to all who were enlightened. It was in vain that the patriot nobles might hope or strive toexclupate themselves; they were sure to be held criminal eitherin fact or by implication. No show of loyalty, no efforts torestore order, no personal sacrifice, could save them from thehatred or screen them from the vengeance of Philip.
The affright of the stadtholderess during the short reign ofanarchy and terror was without bounds.
