What reading level is Mademoiselle De Maupin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have never desired anyone but you for my lover, and I have not had you. If you had loved me, Theodore ! I should have been virtuous and chaste, I should have been worthy of you. Instead of that I shall leave behind me (if any one remembers me) the reputation of a gay woman, a sort of courtesan who differed from the one of the gutter only in rank and fortune. I was born with the loftiest inclinations ; but nothing corrupts like not being loved. Many MADEMOISELLE DE MAUPIN. 155 despise me witho...ut knowing what I must have suffered in order to come to be what I am. Being sure that I should never belong to him whom I preferred above all others, I abandoned myself to the stream, I did not take the trouble to protect a body that could not be yours. As to my heart nobody has had it, or ever will have it. It is yours, though you have broken it ; and, unlike most of the women who think themselves virtuous, pro- vided that they have not passed from one bed into another, though I have prostituted my flesh I have always been faithful in soul and heart to the thought of you.
