What reading level is The Peasantry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

"Poor young fellow! A born Burgundian, and he takes to singing the praise of water, it makes you sorry to see it ! If he had but come and consulted THE PEASANTRY 257 me, I would have given him the finest subject in the world, a poem on wine — The Bacchiad — which I myself feel too old to undertake now." The great poet* is still ignorant of his greatest triumph (due, it is true, to his Burgundian extraction). He was once the talk of Soulanges, where the very names of the modem Pleiade were unkno...wn.
Scores of Gourdons lived and sang under the Empire, which some have blamed, forsooth, for the neglect of letters ! Turn to your booksellers' catalogues, and behold poem after poem on the Turning-lathe, the Game of Draughts, Backgammon,.
Geography, Typography, Comedy, and what not, to say noth- ing of masterpieces so much cried up as Delille on Pity, Im- agination, and Conversation, or Berehoux on Gastronomy, Dansomanie, and the like. Very probably in another fifty years readers will laugh at our thousand and one poems, modeled on the Meditations and Orientales.
