What reading level is Oxford Its Buildings And Gardens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While the dawn of the Renaissance was brightening in England, another force was at work which was to give a tremendous impetus to scholarship and at the same time to strike a blow at the influence of all Universities. Caxton had set up a crude printing press at Westminster, and 98 OXFORD: ITS BUILDINGS AND GARDENS was devoting a strenuous old age to the multiplication of copies of the Psalter, the Topics of Boetius, a translation of the Aineid of "that great clerk" Virgil, the Golden Legend, an...d also many a mediaeval romance now known only to the most patient and laborious bookworm. Estab- lished with so much vigour, the art of printing grew so rapidly that before Caxton had been in his grave a hundred years the meanest scholar could have a better library than had any of the great schoolmen. The new art — a price- less boon to scholarship in general — hit all Universities hard, for it undermined their unique position. When manuscripts were costly, rare, and to be read only in a few libraries, the owners of these libraries, in most cases colleges and universities, had a monopoly of scholarship, and all who wished to learn must needs go and live near them.
