What reading level is Maid of Orleans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am the soldier of the Lord of Hosts, And to no mortal man can I be wife.
ARCHBISHOP. To be a fond companion unto manIs woman born--when nature she obeys, Most wisely she fulfils high heaven's decree!When His behest who called thee to the fieldShall be accomplished, thou'lt resign thy arms, And once again rejoin the softer sex, Whose gentle nature thou dost now forego, And which from war's stern duties is exempt.
JOHANNA. Most reverend sir! as yet I cannot sayWhat work the Spirit will enjoin o...n me. But when the time comes round, his guiding voiceWill not be mute, and it I will obey. Now he commands me to complete my task;My royal master's brow is still uncrowned, 'Twere better for me I had ne'er been born!Henceforth no more of this, unless ye wouldProvoke the Spirit's wrath who in me dwells!The eye of man, regarding me with love, To me is horror and profanity.
CHARLES. Forbear! It is in vain to urge her further.
JOHANNA. Command the trumpets of the war to sound!This stillness doth perplex and harass me;An inward impulse drives me from repose, It still impels me to achieve my work, And sternly beckons me to meet my doom.
