What reading level is Siena the History of a Mediaeval Commune book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" 352 SIENA even during the sacre rap presentation^ which, in Easter week or on other Christian holidays, were occasionally given in the piazza. There is nothing in mediaeval morals which would have caused any one to be particu- larly shocked by such an association. At any rate, whether to the accompaniment of the rattle of dice or not, following a very prevalent custom of the age, re- ligous plays were given from time to time on a temporary stage erected on the Campo. At first these representa...- tions took the form of simple scenes, such as Christ's Birth or Resurrection, selected with reference to the season of the year; later, whole miracle plays were produced, enriched with song and dialogue, and repre- senting a dramatic version of some impressive Bible story. * But nowhere in Italy, and certainly not in Siena, did these enjoy the favor and exhibit the vitality which in northern Europe enabled them to serve as the nucleus of one of the most wonderful forms of modern artistic expression, the drama.
