What reading level is English Literature During the Lifetime of Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

As such we need not be surprised to find no family likeness of parts, either in style, matter, or mode of treatment. The Bible contains legend, history, biography, poetry, pro- TYNDALE'S"NEW TESTAMENT" 287 verbs, parables, philosophy, and ethical and political injunc- tions. Many of the books are exclusively theological or religious, others are purely narrative or lyrical. The Book of Job is dramatic, at least in form. With all this diversity of subject-matter, the first thing that strikes one ...in the style of the English Bible is the extraordinary quality of its diction "remarkable, " as it is, " for clearness, simplicity and strength. " Homely, plain, and Saxon and yet endowed v^^ith a dignity, a grace and sweetness which may be imitated but never ap- proached. So widely is this admirable quality of diction acknowledged that the late Cardinal Newman, most eminent of Anglican converts to Roman Catholicism, is reputed to have once asked, "Who wnll say that the uncommon beauty and marvellous English of the Protestant Bible is not one of the greatest strongholds of heresy in this country ?" It is a mistake to consider the Authorized Version as mainly the work of the King James translators in 161 1.
