What reading level is English Fairy Poetry From the Origins to the Seventeenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The character of Oberon is a very complex one.
It first of all belongs to Teutonic lore. Auberon^ as the name is spelt in the French romance, is derived from Alherich {Alb = elf + rich = king), who, in the Niebelungenlied, watches over the hoard that Sigfried has won from the Niebelungen, and in the Heldenbuch, a collection of German romances of the Xlllth century, meets Ortnit, a German emperor journeying to Syria in quest of the king's daughter, and helps him in his enterprise, just as the Fr...ench Auberon does Huon; while the dwarfish stature of the fairy prince : " he is of heyght but of III fote, and crokyd shulderyd, " ^ is quite in agreement with the diminutive figure so characteristic of the Teutonic elves. In the second place, Oberon lives in the midst of all the pomp and luxury of an Asiatic monarch. He is himself of entrancing beauty; his enchanted palace, with its golden roof and diamond pinnacles, has been compared to the splendid mansion of a Caliph ; and there is hardly anybody at his court who does not wear " a gowne so ryche that it were meruayll to recount the ryches and faysyon there- ' Chapt.
