What reading level is The Early Poetry of Israel in Its Physical And Social Origins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It may be right or wrong to do as I have done, and on the ground of the parallelism print groups of words under four stresses now as two lines and now as one. But as the song was for the ear, not the eye, this question does not matter. So too with the difficulties in the pro- nunciation of some single words, especially proper names. I am sure that Isra'el was often slurred into two syllables, and M e gidd6 in its line must be in two, just as we know an Arab can pronounce a name like Mkeis in on...e. - In singing, the vocal sheva could be pronounced or omitted. The measure of some parallel lines shows that this must sometimes have been done.
There are no certain rhymes, but the reader will notice that the favourite position for sonorous proper names is the end of the line, and how often this is occupied by the name Isra'el, especially at the close of verses or strophes. Another point is the infrequent allitera- tion ; for example, the double instance in 26. But there is more assonance.
All these peculiarities, and varieties, of the music I have sought to reproduce in the following translation, along with a literal rendering of the sense of the poem.
