What reading level is A book for Shakespeare Plays And Pageants a Treasury of Elizabethan And Shakesp book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sport derives its two names from the fact that the hawk or falcon, being itself a bird of prey, was used by the hunter to assist him in pursuing other birds and game. The hawk was carried on the wrist of the hunter and was kept blinded with a hood or cap until he was needed for action; the expression hoodwinked is derived from this latter practice. Leather straps, which were fastened to the legs of the falcon, were attached at the other end to the hand of the hunter, and were known as jesse...s. When the hawk was in flight he was loosed on a long thread known as the creance and he was brought down by the drawing of this thread. He wore bells placed on leather rings, or bewits, about his legs, and the bells were selected with much care by a skilful falconer, to form a certain musical sequence of sound. They had to be light enough not to interfere with the mounting of the hawk and not too full in their sound.
Strutt in his Sports and Pastimes reminds us that freedom for the commons to indulge in hawking was one of the privileges wrested by them from King John in the Magna Charta, the right having been held until that time only by the nobility.
