What reading level is English And Scottish Popular Ballads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From thence it gave forth so beautiful a light and fragrance that the well attracted crowds, and those who looked in saw the body floating there, its hands and feet pierced and its head circled by a crown of thorns. From these marks the murder was clearly the work of the Jews. Miracles were performed for those who touched the holy body. The part played by the mother in the ballad is care- fully told by Paris. The reliability of these chronicles can- not be vouched for. Very likely the whole sto...ry was one of those fabrications used by the Christians in the Middle Ages to justify their persecutions of a much-wronged race. Child says (IV, 240): "Of these charges in the mass it may safely be said . . . That they are as credible as the miracles . . . Asserted to have been worked by the reliques of the young saint, and as well substantiated as the absurd sacri- lege of stabbing, baking, or boiling the Host . . . With which 146 NOTES the Jews have equally been taxed. " The ballad should be compared with Chaucer's Prioress's Tale ; nothing could show more clearly, as Professor Gummere points out ( The Pojmlar Ballad, 229), the difference between " artless and artistic narrative.
