What reading level is The Old Rgime Court Salons And Theatres volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She declared she could endure his presence no longer, and hastened away, lest ennui should give place to disgust. Ennui was an epi- demic as prevalent then, it would seem, as vapours or nerves. The king was affected by it, and, more or less, society generally. The remedy, with the king, was alternate seclusion and the Rambouillet chase ; with society, it was the salon, though not always an effective one.

What suppers and dinners were given by the popular singers and actresses !
