What reading level is Notes On Chaucer a Commentary On the Prolog And Six Canterbury Tales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Section. THE PROLOG (w. A 1—858) It was a very common practice throughout medieval Europe to fit a series of tales into a single tale as a framework. This cus- tom appears to have originated in India, and to have been borrowed thence by the Persians and Arabs, and by the Mongo- lian races. It is not always possible to say at what point a particular tale or series of tales first entered Europe. The reader may consult Macdonnell pp. 368f[. ; Keith-Falconer ; or the great Benfey. An apparent excep...tion to what has been said is the Metamorphoses of Ovid, which may have been wholly inde- pendent of Asiatic influence, but in which the framework is so indistinct as scarcely to deserve the name of a tale. Examples of the custom of framing tales are altogether too numerous in Europe to permit of enumeration. Merely mention- ing the Fables of Bilpay, the Romance of the Seven Sages, and the Advice of a Father to his Son {Le Castoiement d'7in Fere d son Fils), we may say that three cases are especially interesting to the student of Chaucer.
