What reading level is A Popular History of France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is three hundred years since Henri of Navarre dreamed this dream. The unity of France was at that time menaced not only politi- cally from without, but it was threatened by religious strife from within. Indeed the last of the rebellious nobles did not surrender for many years, and the principles of democracy were not to triumph, even in theory, until the Revolution of 1789.
RICHELIEU The work of organization which Henri IV, aided by Sully, had accomplished, was not to be continued. His heir,... Louis XIII, was but a child when his father was assassinated. Imme- diately he became a prey to the intrigues of an Italian mother: Marie de Medicis, and of her dependents. They soon squandered the econo- mies of Sully. Yet, as always happened in France, this new crisis, which resulted in the uprising of the nobles, aroused the genius of one of the greatest statesmen which France has known: Richelieu. During the entire reign of Louis XIII, Richelieu was the power behind the throne. His policy was to combat the enemies who menaced or retarded the unity of France.
