What reading level is Stray Studies From England And Italy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the doublerow of plain seats running round it sat her nobles; on the raised daisat the end, surrounded by the graver senators, sat her duke. One longfresco occupies the whole wall above the ducal seat; in the backgroundthe blue waters of the Lagoon with the towers and domes of Venice risingfrom them; around a framework of six bending saints; in front twokneeling Doges in full ducal robes with a black curtain of cloudsbetween them. The clouds roll back to reveal a mighty glory, and in thehear...t of it the livid figure of a dead Christ taken from the cross. Notone eye of all the nobles gathered in council could have lifted itselffrom the figure of the Doge without falling on the figure of the deadChrist. Strange as the conception is it is hard to believe that in amind so peculiarly symbolical as that of Tintoret the contrast couldhave been without a definite meaning. And if this be so, it is a meaningthat one can hardly fail to read in the history of the time. The briefinterval of peace and glory had passed away ere Tintoret's brush hadceased to toil.
