What reading level is Dante: "the Central Man of All the World" book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scandal of their illicit love andthe penalty they paid by their lives must have been so generally knownthat Dante, though attached to her family by the memory of hospitalityreceived from her nephew, Guido Novello da Polenta, the lord of Ravenna, is dominated by the necessity of declaring in Francesca and Paolo theoperation of the unalterable law which rules the terrible consequencesof crime unforgiven by Heaven. Was it gratitude for kindness extended tohim, an exile, by the Lord of Ravenna,... or was it the memory ofassociation with the brother of Francesca, at the battle of Campaldino, that led our poet to treat the whole episode of the fatal liaison withsuch tender sympathy for the unfortunate lady that he hoped torehabilitate her memory? In any event, the poet represents himself asgracious and benign when addressing Francesca, and she, moved by hisfriendly attitude, tells the story of her intrigue, in lines justlyregarded as the most beautiful ever written in verse. The reader willnot fail to observe that the fatal denouement is only hinted, nottold--the line, "that day we read no more, " making what is admitted tobe the finest ellipsis in all the literature of the world.
