What reading level is George Borrow An English Humorist in Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
... Is there no middle sort of course? Can you not establish a depot in some principal place, and thence make excursions of two or three days at a time, instead of devoting yourself wholly to the wild people?" To this Borrow replied, softening the ter- rors of his project with a pastoral note : "I did not intend to devote myself entirely to the wild people, but to visit the villages and towns as well as the remote and secluded glens. " As a matter of fact, Borrow was again drawing completely on... his imagination. The experiences of Richard Ford, who is always an excellent corrective lens for Sorrow's distorted point of view, show that the Asturias and Galicia at that time were what the present writer has found them today peaceful abodes inhabited by a backward, close- mouthed, mild, thrifty, overworked race. The skull of the Galician is perhaps a little thick, and the worst that can or could then be said of him is that his thriftiness is so akin to miserliness as to have become proverbial in Spain, that his backwardness has kept him bound too closely to the soil ; hence his wildest occupation has been the cultivation of the potato, of corn, of barley and the vine.
