What reading level is The Religion of the Teutons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The contrast that we have just indicated pervades Teutonic heroic poetry in its entirety. In the midst of the storms that upheave all else, man remains true to his lord, to his word, to his vengeance, to all that duty prescribes. Not a trace of inward struggle is to be found. It is this very trait in the characters of Hagen and Kriemhilt that affects us most powerfully, that they commit the horrible and inhuman with as ready a heart and hand as the noble and great.
A second thought also, the re...alization that all things are transient and uncertain, has left its imprint on all the heroic poetry, and dominates, in fact, the whole mood of the period of the migrations and of the Vikings. The motifs that we meet in the Teutonic heroic poetry are deeply tragic ; witness the Gothic Ermanaric Saga, or the Lombardian saga of Alboin, the bold and brave king, celebrated in epic songs that may still be clearly recognized in the Latin prose of Paulus Diaconus, 1 who falls a victim to the vengeance of his wife.
