What reading level is The Sources of Standard English book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This dialect more- over made its way into the North : let any one compare the York Mysteries of 1350 with the version of them made forty years later, and he will see the influence of the Midland tongue.^ The Western shires bordering on North Wales had long employed a medley of Southern and Northern forms ; these were now settling down into something very like Manning's speech, as may be seen in the romance* of William and the Werwolf.^ Kent, Gloucestershire, and Lancashire were not so ready to ...welcome the dialect compounded in or near Rutland ; their resistance seems to have lasted throughout the Fourteenth Century; and Langland, who wrote Piers Ploughman's Vision after the year 1362, holds to the speech of his own Western shire. He was the greatest genius that had as yet employed English, though he was soon to be outdone, perhaps in his own lifetime.
Chaucer has given us a most spirited sketch of the * Gametfs Essays, p. 192 ; swylke, dane, and scdl are changed into stiche, alloTie, and shalle; and other words in the same way.
