What reading level is Stories From the Italian Poets ... With Critical Notices of the Life And Genius of the Authors 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
3LoDov>lco Briosto 103 greater the will itself. To chuck an accom- plished envoy into the river would have been much ; but to chuck the immortal poet there, laurels and all, in the teeth of the amazement of posterity, would have been a temptation irre- sistible.
It was on this occasion that Ariosto, probably from inability to choose his times or modes of returning home, contracted a cough, which is understood to have shortened his existence ; so that Julius may have killed him after all. But th...e pope had a worse enemy in his own bosom — his violence — which killed him in a much shorter period. He died in little more than two years afterwards; and the poet's prospects were all now of a very different sort — at least he thought so ; for in March, 15 13, his friend Gio- vanni de' Medici succeeded to the papacy, under the title of Leo the Tenth.
Ariosto hastened to Rome, among a shoal of visitors to congratulate the new pope, perhaps not without a commission from Alfonso to see what he could do for his native country, on which the rival Medici family never ceased to have designs.
