What reading level is The Charm of Oxford book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Christ Church : The Hall Interior] CHRIST CHURCH (3) "TOM" TOWER "Those twins of learning, which he raised in you, Ipswich and Oxford, one of which fell with him; The other, though unfinished, yet so famous, So excellent in art, and still so rising, That Christendom shall ever speak his virtue. " SHAKESPEARE, /Henry VIII/.
Oxford is described by Matthew Amold as, "Beautiful city, with her dreaming spires, " yet it is for her towers, especially, that she is famous. Glorious asSt. Mary's is, it c...ertainly does not surpass Magdalen Tower; and itmay well be doubted whether the genius of Wren has not excelled bothMagdalen and St. Mary's in "Tom" Tower. Gothic purists, of course, donot like it. There is a well-authenticated story of a really greatarchitect who, in the early days of the twentieth century, was askedto submit a scheme for its repair; after long delay he sent in a planfor an entirely new tower on correct Gothic lines, because (as hewrote) no one would wish to preserve "so anomalous a structure" asTom Tower.
