What reading level is The Anglosaxon Poets On the Judgment Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Love for nature, too, is seen in these accounts of the confusion of the elements, the mighty winds, the rushing storm, the roaring sea, the sturdy cliffs of the shore.
Chapter II.
The Last Judgment Itself.
Having thus noticed the precursors of the Last Judgment, we may now turn to the scene of the Judgment itself and ask who are present and what transpires there. We begin with the person, appearance and surroundings of the Eternal Judge.
1. The Judge.
Throned, according to Cynewulf, upon a moun...tain, in the midst of His glorious angel hosts and overlooking assembled humanity, sits the Eternal Judge, upon whose word now de- pends the everlasting weal or woe of mankind. He is referred to so often and at such length, we are inclined to believe that the secret of the poets' (at least of Cynewulf's) preference for the Judgment Day as a poetical theme may lie in the fact that it gave them such a good opportunity to describe the Eternal Judge in all His majesty and power. Indeed it seems as much their object to portray the character and surroundings of the Judge as to chronicle the events of Judgment itself.
