What reading level is The Dark Ages 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The author has his eye on the object, and is fascinated by his own picture of the deserted city, as the Seafarer is by his recollection of hail and frost, cliflFs, breakers, gannets, and sea-gulls.
There are some signs of degeneracy in much of the later poetry, stale ideas and flat verse, like the drowsy leavings of the old alliterative school in Germany.
The uncertainties of Layamon's prosody are already found two hundred years before him in Anglo-Saxon.
But Judith, more warlike than anything
...in Cynewulf, THE TEUTONIC LANGUAGES. 267 yet with full command of the art of verse, belongs most probably to the tenth century : ByrfUnoth to the very end of it. The poem on Brunanburh, which is earlier, is a conventional panegyric, quite different in scope from the Maldon lay.
There is much good phrasing in the Anglo-Saxon Gnomic Verses, which it is interesting to compare with the Northern moralisings, shortly to be spoken of.
The collection of Northern poetry which it is still occasionally convenient to call the " Elder Edda " was Niyneandice- made in Iceland, and is contained in one landic poetry, famous manuscript book belonging to the King's Library in Copenhagen (Codex Begins), written at the end of the thirteenth century.
