What reading level is Modern French Masters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The grateful people of the town have bathed their naked feet with tears of adoration and farewell, and, devoted to probable death and to sure humiliation, they are before us. History has kept the names of four : Eustache de St. Pierre, Jean d'Aire, Jacques and Pierre de Wissant. On their faces are de- picted all things save the sense of defeat. In the drawn visages, convulsed hands, in the bent and defiant attitude, are pride, hauteur, grief, resolution. The wasted forms bear the marks of siege..., privation, hun- ger, and anxiety, but there is no trace of submission in the mediaeval vicarious offering. Old age is here, passive in a moment of sublime renunciation ; youth, rebellious at this demand of Fate ; middle life, desperate in tense despair. These figures are real and human ; this is modern realism with classic delineation. Verse or prose, brush or pencil, could not, line for line, have caught the story better and told it more expressively. The mass loves a work of art that tells a tale, and here 86 RODIN the layman and the most difficult symbolist may alike BEAU TORSE enjoy.
