What reading level is The English Religious Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Moral- ities, as a rule, are successful only in failure. When the abstract blunders into the concrete, when the moral play clumsily slips over into human comedy or tragedy, it is possible to become interested. That flimsy garment of flesh and blood worn by Hycke-Scorner endears the vagabond, though even he is ridiculously suggestive of Hawthorne's Feather- top, " There it stood, — poor devil of a contrivance that it was! — with only the thinnest vesture of human similitude about it, through... which was evi- dent the stiff, rickety, incongruous, faded, tattered.
MORALITIES. 203 good-for-nothing patchwork of its substance, ready to sink in a heap upon the floor, as conscious of its own unworthiness to be erect. " The Moralities, everywhere far more restricted in date than the Miracles, appeared in England a cen- tury later than in France, where they were of a lighter and less sectarian description. Passing by the lost Pater Noster Play and Creed Play of York, these fourteenth century dramas which seem to have had the essential quality of Moralities, we find that the English Moral Plays, which apparently rose in the East Midland district, where the Norman influence was always strong, were in vogue from the second quarter of the fifteenth century on through the earlier half of the reign of Elizabeth, their tendency being to become less and less dra- matic, and more and more controversial, usually in support of the Reformed Faith.
