What reading level is Leila; Or, the Siege of Granada: Calderon the Courtier; And the Pilgrims of ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First of these charges was that of sorcery, practised on the king ; the rest were for the most part equally grotesque and extravagant. These accusations Calderon met with a dignity which confounded his foes, and belied the popular belief in the elements of his character.
Submitted to the rack, he bore its tortures without a groan; and all historians have accorded concurrent testimony to the patience and heroism which characterised the close of his wild and meteoric career. At length Philip the ...Third died: the Infant ascended the throne — that prince, for whom the am- bitious courtier had perilled alike life and soul ! The people now believed that they should be defrauded of their victim.
They were mistaken. The new king, by this time, had for- gotten even the existence of the favourite of the prince. But Cuzman, who, while affecting to minister to the interests of Uzeda, was secretly aiming at the monopoly of the royal favour, felt himself insecure while Calderon yet lived. The operations of the Inquisition were too slow for the impatience of his fears ; and as that dread tribunal affected never to inflict death until the accused had confessed his guilt, the firmness of Calderon baffled the vengeance of the ecclesiastical law.
