What reading level is Medival French Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Others are of pure invention, but contain many reminiscences, like the dull Blancandin and the amusing Joufroi, a rather licentious little tale, which apparently preserves the memory of the amorous adventures of William of Poitiers. Thus on all sides the need of telling and listening to stories provoked a search for working materials, and narratives from all sources were perceptibly moulded to a like form in the hands of the French poets, FROM LOUIS VII. TO LOUIS VIII. 73 who usually, when once... adapted and put into shape, passed them on to the poets of other lands.
This taste for stories was, we have seen, not only gratified by the reading, generally aloud, of works really literary, but by the recitals of professional story-tellers, who, even if they did not write out their tales, were obliged to give them a definite form. To our regret, we are not acquainted with these narratives, for, judging by the single specimen that remains of a kindred class, such prose tales, livelier, more natural, more closely rendering the familiar speech, would have an immense charm for us.
