What reading level is Dante the Man And the Poet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Clement had no particular love for Henry, but he was determined to thwart King Philip, who was plotting to get the Imperial crown either for himself or his brother Charles, and thus make France paramount in Europe; and with the Papal influence on his side, Henry succeeded in gaining enough votes from the electors to raise him to the proud position of Over- lord.
There were others beside Dante who entertained an exalted view of the young Emperor, and among them was Villani, who says " He was wis...e and just and gracious, valiant, firm in arms and virtuous, and if he had lived longer he would have done the greatest things. " But perhaps no one built such high hopes upon him as the exiled poet, who longed above all things to see Italy united and at peace and believed that this result could only be obtained by the establishment of a universal empire. That he could express such an opinion as this shows how little of a Guelf he was at heart; the Papal rule seemed to him to create more disorders than it cured; and since men's minds at that time were forced to turn into one of the two directions, he turned towards the Imperial idea as the remedy for the evils that distracted the world.
