What reading level is Tasso And His Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A city perpetually crowded by so many foreigners, who threw off their own national code of morals when they visited a people of alien manners, had corrupted Rome. Much of the violence of the Middle Ages persisted, and even the insecurity that then charac- terised all urban life. And at night the sound of cannon would sometimes be heard from afar in the vintage season . The great watch-towers by the sea were firing their artillery to give warning to Rome of some Turkish raid, and in the morning ...some poor village would be found wanting in cattle and maidens and men. Life was still in daily peril in Italy, religion in subjection, thought ' languid and sick and chained. Yet, on the whole, the barbarities of the Middle Ages that persisted through the Revival of Letters and Arts and all the fine culture of the Humanistic Period, had sensibly diminished. But domestic tragedy had in- creased, especially at Rome, and had become far more dramatic, after a fashion that, later on, it will behove us to examine.
