What reading level is English Literature From the Norman Conquest to Chaucer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" "Thus breed many beggars bold. " Bitterly the poet laments the consternation and woe abroad in the land.
In another satirical dirge of the same period, the pride, covet- ousness, and contentiousness of the time were exhibited by means of the fable of the fox and the wolf, who escape the clutches of the lion by means of bribes, while the poor ass suffers for his sim- plicity. Oppressors escape just punishment by guile, and the innocent suffer the rigours of the law on account of their honesty.... "Those that are in highest life are most charged with sin. " Elsewhere, the consistory courts come in for special rebuke, for in them the peasants were often badgered, browbeaten, and beguiled by clerks and summoners.
Social unre_st is revealed in the attacks On the Retinites of Great People^ which were often made up, it would seem, of ribalds, harlots, horse-cheats, and others thought worthy of hell-fire ; and on the prevailing extravagance in dress, which was inveighed against with such persistence that Parliament at last strove to control luxurious display of raiment by special enactment.
