What reading level is Heroic Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Venetian red of his plumes and scarf is splendid. Titian has an- other of the Emperor, standing with his Irish hound, near it a gem of woman portraiture, Charles' lovely wife, Isabella of Portugal. It seems a strange irony for such an exquisite crea- ture to have been the mother of a Philip II. Philip was fortunate in his daughters, too, de- mure, formal little maidens, who stand with the sedate propriety of Spanish infantas, and in his sisters, whose long, aristocratic faces Antonio Moro h...as left us. Charles V sent Moro to Eng- land to paint Queen Mary for her young bride- groom, and here she sits in her rich crimson leather chair, erect and stiff and insignificant, her auburn hair and homely face not one to charm her future husband still in his twenties, she not far from the fatal forty. A deeply pathetic portrait this. Good woman she was personally, despite having been made the scape-goat for a system, yet one can read in the pinched shrewdness of her mouth that she lacked her grandmother's height of brain, 224 Heroic Spain nor was she capable of her mother's dignity of sorrow, whose grand, insulted womanhood Shake- speare has rendered so magnificently.
