What reading level is Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans. From Mitchelet's History of France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the Pucelle to fall into the hands of a noble lord of the house of Luxembourg, of a vassal of the chivalrous Duke of Burgundy, of the good duke, as he was called, was a hard trial for the chivalry of the day. A prisoner of war, a girl, so young a girl, and, above all, a maid, what had she to fear amidst loyal knights ?
Chivalry was in every one's mouth as the protection of afflicted dames and damsels.
Marshal Boucicaut had just founded an 116 JOAN OF ARC, order which had no other object. Be...sides, the worship of the Virgin, constantly ex- tending in the middle age, having become the dominant religion, it seemed as if virginity must be an inviolable safeguard.
To explain what is to follow, we must point out the singular want of haimony which then existed between ideas and morals, and, however shocking the contrast, bring face to face with the too sublime ideal, with the Imitation, with the Pucelle, the low realities of the time ; we must (be- seeching pardon of the chaste girl who forms the subject of this narrative) fathom the depths of this world of covetousness and of concupiscence.
