What reading level is Four Arthurian Romances book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Erec" is the oldestArthurinn romance to have survived in any language, but it isalmost certainly not the first to have been written. It is aperfectly clean story: of love, estrangement, and reconciliationin the persons of Erec and his charming sweetheart Enide. Thepsychological analysis of Erec's motives in the rude testing ofEnide is worthy of attention, and is more subtle than anythingprevious in French literature with which we are acquainted. Thepoem is an episodical romance in the biograph...y of an Arthurinnhero, with the usual amount of space given to his adventures. "Cliges" apparently connects a Byzantine tale of doubtful originin an arbitrary fashion with the court of Arthur. It is thoughtthat the story embodies the same motive as the widespread tale ofthe deception practised upon Solomon by his wife, and thatChretien's source, as he himself claims, was literary (cf. GastonParis in "Journal des Savants", 1902, pp. 641-655). The scenewhere Fenice feigns death in order to rejoin her lover is aparallel of many others in literary history, and will, of course, suggest the situation in Romeo and Juliet.
