What reading level is The Lydgate Canon .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is harsh and unreadable ; Lydgate is always smooth. There are forty-seven alexandrines, and thirty-four lines of eight syllables, though the poem is written in rhyme royal. The rhymes are incredibly bad.
In 2000 lines we have strong : hand, 260 ; am : man, 86 ; than : doon, 1217; come : oblyuyone, 1337; bedde : understonde, 2040; and others of the like. In over twenty out of forty cases the -ye rhymes with final -y. Victorie rhymes party e, 1009 ; company e, 1190; and many words in -y. We fi...nd circumcysion : derision, 1205 ; reson : seson, 1259. In other words, this poem is the product of another age than Lydgate^s, and certainly belongs to the latter half of the century.
But stronger even than these philological tests, on which alone I should never rely, are the tests of style. Nowhere in our known Lydgate have we this rough, careless, brisk, vigorous, racy, colloquial telling. Was it Lydgate who wrote of Diana and Neptune in his John Bale's List. xxxiii 559. "This was the furst syght that ever I theym sawe, And yef I never do efte, I rekke not a strawe ; " or of Minerva, the chaste goddess, 349.
