What reading level is The East Riding of Yorkshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps occasionally a nobleman, travelling from one manor-house to another with his whole household, would claim the hospitality of a monastery. Yes ; the life undoubtedly had attractions. And many a man, after a career of strife and violence, longed for the calm peacefulness of a monastery and devotion to the service of God. It is clear that, taking Kirkham Priory as a type of the monastic institutions of East Yorkshire, we have a centre where teaching, learning, chronicle-making, cultivation... of land, building, studj 7 of medicine, and the worship of God, are more prominent or better done than anywhere else, and that certain of these were not done anywhere else at all. We have, finally, now to .. Onsider what was, perhaps, the greatest work of a monastic insti- tution ; that is, its care for others. Every day there came to its gates the hungry, the sick, and the wayfaring man. Every day the canons or monks gave of their store of provisions or knowledge to help those distressed. This was the province of the almoner.
