What reading level is The Cathedral Church of Wells: a Description of Its Fabric And a Brief ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The extreme boldness of the mouldings, the absence of shafts and capitals and of all ornament, give them a primitive vigour, and their great intermingling curves, which con- trast so magnifi- cently with the little shafts of the piers beyond, seem more like a part of some great mountain cavern than a mere device of architectural utility.
At the same time as the arches were built, flying but- tresses were in- serted further to secure the tower, and they can be seen blocking up the triforium and ...clerestory of those bays, in nave, choir, and transepts, which adjoin it. Other repairs were necessary, for the pier-arches of the same bays in nave and transepts were com- pletely shattered, and had to be replaced by the present ones, the queer-looking capitals of which contrast so oddly with the earlier work. It is instructive, also, to compare the lightness of these fourteenth-century mouldings with the boldness of those, wrought at exactly the same time, of the great inverted arches.
