What reading level is Cathedrals And Cloisters of the Isle De France volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Seeing the holy men, he drew back the piece of tapestry with which someone had covered the dead body and placed a handful of straw, twisted into a cross, on the Duke's breast. As the priests looked at the pale face whose habitual serenity was not distorted by the violence of his death, they murmured a hasty De Profundis, and these were the only funeral rites ; for the body of the murdered Duke with that of his brother, the Cardinal de Guise, who was killed next day, were either buried in quickl...ime or burned in the furnaces of the castle. "Henry III, " writes MacDowall, "discovered too late that his rival was more formidable in death than in life" ; and as soon as it became evident that the King was incapable of following up his crime with the neces- sary energy, the general consternation produced by the news of the murder was succeeded by uncontrolled fury. The whole city of Paris went into mourning, and day and night the churches were crowded with congrega- tions who replied in a chorus of sympathetic hoots and imprecations to the preachers' denunciations of the crime.
