What reading level is Men And Manners of Old Florence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it was less a new lover that she was in search of now than a powerful pro- tector in whom she could trust, and as she usually conferred her favours on the strongest of her admirers in order that she might pursue her own way under the shadow of his protection, she had no difficulty, amongst so many men of letters, in choosing one to whom she should award the palm. And the man whom Tullia selected as a lover suitable for her purpose, probably fixing her mind upon him even before she came to F...lorence, was Benedetto Varchi.
Only recently returned to Florence, recalled by Duke Alessandro that he might read before the Accademia degli Umidi, Benedetto Varchi was so famous for his literary works and his science that people ran out into the street to stare at him as he passed by. He was a genuine example of the typical scholar of the Cinquecento, always oscillating between TULLIA OF ARRAGON 217 travagantly praised and bitterly blamed. On this man Tullia had cast her eyes, and women of her stamp love with the head before they love with the senses, for the heart is scarcely concerned !
