What reading level is The Age of the Renascence An Outline Sketch of the History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The monks were coarse men, car- ing nothing for literature, and understanding by re- ligion the discipline of their order, with its vigils and fasts, which they varied by drinking-bouts. Eras- mus's delicate constitution could not endure the fasts, and his fastidious spirit shrank from the drinking- bouts ; but in spite of every repugnance, the poor lad, with no friend to turn to, was finally persuaded to become a monk. He spent six years in the convent. The example of the monks was bad, and he... tells us he was inclined to great vices ; but he studied much, and gained among all who knew him the report of a very accomplished writer of verse and prose. It was this private reputation which led the Bishop of Cambray, then contemplating a journey to Italy, to offer Erasmus the post of secretary. He accepted, and was ordained priest in the following year. The 282 The Age of the Renascence.
Bishop deferred his journey, and sent Erasmus to study theology at Paris. There he settled, with the idea of pursuing his studies and maintaining himself as a private tutor to young gentlemen of fortune.
