What reading level is Portraits of Women book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She was a considerable reader, perhaps not of very solid literature, but at any rate of the poets and nov- elists. When obliged to remain at home, with a new Easter bonnet, on account of Pepys's indisposition, she consoles him, if not herself, by reading Fuller's "Worthies." On other similar occasions she reads Du Bartas or Ovid. Her erudition at times even produces a great effect on her husband, as when she assures him that the plot of a popular play is taken from a novel, goes home and puts t...he passage before him, also when she laboriously copies out a letter on jealousy from the "Arcadia" and submits it to him for his edification.
94 MRS. PEPYS The romances that she loved she knew by heart, for her mentor finds occasion to check her for "her long sto- ries out of Grand Cyrus, which she would tell, though nothing to the purpose, nor in any good manner." When she was married, she had not many accom- plishments. But Pepys wanted a wife who would do him credit and took pains to teach her.
