What reading level is The Saints And Missionaries of the Anglo Saxon Era First And Second Series book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Aidan's time, and in that of his S. Cuthbert. 315 immediate successors, had changed for the worse. The Bishop himself was their Abbot, but on account of his pastoral duties was seldom resident, and had little influence, the rule of the monastery lay to all intents and purposes with the Prior. The Bishop, therefore, made Cuthbert Prior of Lindisfarne, with the view of bringing his influence to bear upon the community. Cuthbert undertook this office at the Bishop's wish, in the spirit of obedienc...e, though aware that it involved a very painful duty. The Monks, as he expected, resented bitterly any change in their rules, and looked with no friendly eyes on a superior who was sent ostensibly to reform them. On his arrival in Lindisfarne he began to live the same strict life of self-denial which he had lived in Melrose. Here also as before he extended his labours beyond the walls of the monastery, making frequent journeys among the country people, visiting the sick, the poor, and the distressed, doing his best by preaching and example to win the godless and heathen to the Faith.
