What reading level is The Edinburgh Review book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before 1150 another Anglo-Norman, Samson of Nanteuil, had versified the proverbs of Solomon. Almost at the same time GeofiErey Gaynor wrote the Chronicle of England, and Wace in the ' Roman de Rou ' in 1 160 celebrated in octosyllabic and alexandrine verse the conquest of England.
It was at this moment that the ' Mysttee d'Adam ' was written, and it certainly was from the pen of a great dramatist who was capable of extraordinary control over the use of the octosyllabic and decasyllabic verse, f...itting the metres to the strong drawing of character. The personalities of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel are fine examples not only of character drawing, but of the development of character in relation to a changing environment. That is the great test of dramatic art, and the author of this semi-liturgical drama possessed it in a high degree. The breaking in of the Latin chorus with the terrible words, rising above the vernacular octosyllabic verse in minatory tone, ' Ubi est Abel, frater tuus,' must have been dramatic in the extreme in the setting of a great cathedral.
