What reading level is Celtic Britain And the Pilgrim Movement book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" nerth ; Ifan Brydydd hir, 14o0. I CHAPTER XV.
Domestic Pilgrimages. — Roods and Images.
The rise of domestic shrines which followed the decline of pilgrimages to foreign centres marks a milder form of asceticism. A journey to Jerusalem, Rome, or Compostela, was the event of a lifetime, and involved no little hardship ; hut a visit to a local resort, at any rate in time of peace, was no very arduous undertaking. This pilgrim was in no strange land ; his mother tongue served him everywhere ; th...e doors of the monasteries that studded Britain were always open to him ; Hospitaller and Templar shielded him from outrage ; and kings took him under their patronage. Consequently, the pilgrimage often formed a welcome relaxation, a relief to the monotony of country life, or a pretext for shirking duty. The wayfarer was thrown into the company of kindred spirits or congenial companions, who would beguile tlie tedium of the journey by lively song or merry jest, and not seldom by scurrilous tale.
