What reading level is The Transition Period book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be more correct to say that it deals with the material of the romantic epic, for it entirely lacks the artistic unity which is suggested in Pulci and Boiardo. It is rather a series of chivalric episodes about Eenaldo, Mambriano, Astolfo, and others, joined together in as slight poetic sequence as the hundred tales of the Decameron. Matteo Franco survives in Italian literature as Walter Kennedy does in Scottish, for he engaged Pulci in a sonnet- fight in which the poets satirised and bu...rlesqued each other in extravagant terms.^ It might be difhcult to adjudicate between Italian and Scottish scurrility as uttered by Franco and Pulci on the one hand, and Kennedy and Dunbar on the other: the only interesting point of contrast is that the Italians ultimately lost their tempers and forgot the noble art of libel in an unseemly brawl. A milder mood of burlesque prevails in the Sonetti faceti^ of Antonio Cammelli of Pistoia (1440-1502), who may be ^ Printed posthumously in 1 509. ^ Sonetti di Matteo Franco e Luigi Pulci.
