What reading level is Studies in the English Mystery Plays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The example chosen might be written as iambic dimeter, 1 as in Ex. 10, but the stanza would be inordinately long. Moreover, this leonine rime was cultivated in the North when, oftentimes, it was not carried out with sufficient regularity to admit of resolution. In my opinion the author in- tended this for a septenar stanza in 4's and 3's, without riming pri- mary ca?suras, i. E. At the close of the 4's, and with entrelacee long- lines, i. E. Entrelacee 3's, although the lack of rime with the pr...imary caesuras is very unusual.
The development of the stanza can, then, be briefly stated as fol- lows — 1. A septenar stanza of six verses, the first four constituting the ' pedes, ' the last two a closing couplet, or 'cauda. ' '2. The first four verses rime entrelacee.
3. Structural alliteration imposed upon the 7-stress line, 4. Resolution of the 7-stress lines, forming a 12-verse stanza, without riming primary caesuras, but with secondary ca?suras fol- lowing the second stress in the 4-stress verse.
