What reading level is Ossian And the Ossianic Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is none the less of extreme interest as embodying an ideal of patriotic chivalry which may be as old as the twelfth century, but probably took shape in the following century. The individual Fian must be . At once an expert athlete and warrior and a poet versed in the twelve books of poetry; he must practise generosity largely, denying meat and valuables to none ; he must hold his ground against any number of opponents less than nine. Collec- tively, the body stood outside the strict tribal r...ules which governed the rest of Irishmen : " if their guarantee was violated they must not accept material compensation in satisfaction. " As a rule, if any Irishman was injured his tribe was bound to exact material compensation, the extent and nature of which were rigidly determined. As satisfaction was generally denied, private grievances became tribal feuds, and tribal enmities which prevented Any effectual combination against the foreign in- vader were perpetuated. Some loosening of tribal ties way well have taken place in the ninth-century warrior bands, the prototype of the Fenian militia described in the mediaeval texts, and in so far there may be an historical basis for the mediaeval account.
