What reading level is Lives of the English Saints 5-8 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
for SO we may now call him, it seems hard to us to re- alize that such a person ever existed. We who live in the world, whose eye glances from one object of affec- tion to another, and is taken by all, whose ears are tickled with praise and pained by blame, who set up for intellect and talent, if we have it, and fancy that we have it, if we have it not, whose highest austerity con- sists in temperance, and highest charity in good hu- mour, we can hardly do more than gaze on a character like Gil...bert's, and wonder if after all it be true. Those of us who rise above this standard, in as far as they rise above it, may enter into the notion of a saint. But to us, common-place christians, it is only a beautiful dream of something which is past long ago, and which is no- thing to us. And this sort of feeling is a dangerous one and likely to increase, when lives of saints take the place of romances and fairy tales. To deny or not to realize the existence of Christian Saints, is apt to make a wide gap in christian faith.
