What reading level is Epic And Romance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For one thing, there was plenty of romantic stuff in the old heroic poetry, withoutgoing to the French books. For another thing, the prose stories of theold tradition had in them all kinds of romantic motives which were fitto be used again. So there came into existence the highly-interestingseries of Mythical Romances on the themes of the old Northern mythicaland heroic poetry, and another series besides, which worked up in itsown way a number of themes and conventional motives from the olderpr...ose books.
Mythical sagas had their beginning in the classical age of the North. Snorri, with his stories of the adventures of the gods, is the leaderin the work of getting pure romance, for pure amusement, out of whatonce was religious or heroic myth, mythological or heroic poetry. EvenAri the Wise, his great predecessor, had done something of the samesort, if the _Ynglinga Saga_ be his, an historical abstract ofNorthern mythical history; though his aim, like that of SaxoGrammaticus, is more purely scientific than is the case with Snorri.
