What reading level is Queen Victoria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAPTER V LORD PALMERSTON I In 1851 the Prince's fortunes reached their high- water mark. The success of the Great Exhibition enormously increased his reputation and seemed to assure him henceforward a leading place in the national life. But before the year was out another triumph, in a very different sphere of action, was also his. This triumph, big with fateful conse- quences, was itself the outcome of a series of com- plicated circumstances which had been gathering to a climax for many years....
The unpopularity of Albert in high society had not diminished with time. Aristocratic persons continued to regard him with disfavour; and he on his side, withdrew further and further into a contemptuous reserve. For a moment, indeed, it appeared as if the dislike of the upper classes was about to be suddenly converted into cordiality; for they learnt with amazement that the Prince, during a country visit, had ridden to hounds and acquitted himself remarkably well. They had al- 204 LORD PALMERSTON 205 ways taken it for granted that his horsemanship was of some second-rate foreign quality, and here he was jumping five-barred gates and tearing after the fox as if he had been born and bred in Leicestershire.
