What reading level is A Florentine Revery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The brain is as busy as the hand and does its part as easily and as well. There is no waiting for another to suggest or direct, no helplessness or dependence. From childhood up they have learned to think their own thoughts, to be self-sufficient, independent, and alert. And how plain it is that this habit of mind, once deeply implanted, will assert itself in other than industrial connections. A nation of tillers of the soil, or of factory hands and automatic machine stuffers, may tolerate a Cae...sar; a nation of artisans never. Will democracy survive the extinction of artisanship? There is nothing in history to warrant the hope.
This, then, is the new wine that is bursting the 26 A FLORENTINE REVERY old bottles. Mediaeval Florence has awakened from her long sleep and has become the center of that modern life that we call industry. The great change has come about so naturally and started so un- obtrusively that it is as difficult to locate its be- ginning as it is to find the seed which, germinating long ago, has become a great tree whose mighty roots have split the rock on which it grew.
