What reading level is Studies in Early French Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In those days men imitated Molinet ; they aimed at the " Rime Em- pdrifere," or at least at the " Rime Couronnfe." If they could succeed in the " Rime Retrograde," their reputation was made. And bad as the model was, the copy was worse. When Marot came, all began to imitate him, and, for a time at least, good taste reigned, to fall again 198 CHAPTER VIII.
before the pedantries of Ronsard, and to rise once more when Malherbe reopened the undefiled well of French.
So, now, dozens of men and women... ^\Tite verses which in the last century would have, placed them in the collections of British poets, but which are, nevertheless, only copies in a style due to Tennyson, Broivning, or AVordsworth.
These lesser bards, the imitators of Molinet, Cretin, and company, followed blindly after their leaders, worshipping at the shrine of Dulness.
"The gathering number, as it moves along, Involves a vast involuntary throng; Who, gently drawn, and struggling less and less.
Roll in her vortex, and her power confess." There is something touching about these forgotten poets, their vanity, their self-satisfaction, their laborious monuments of industry and patience.
