What reading level is The Cathedral Builders in England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was now an art of slender shaftings of Purbeck marble, pointed lancets, wall arcades ranged one behind the other, level-crowned vaults, with multiplied string-courses of marble, arch-moulds of many members, some adorned with the dog-tooth, and often with a free and varied carving of white stone in label-heads and capitals — and finally it had a splendid free figure-sculpture. So we have it in St. Hugh's Cathedral at Lincoln and the Ely Galilee, then at Salisbury, and in all the great works o...f the thirteenth century in England.
But though revolutionary in its details as compared with the older art, the planning and scheme had not given up the monastic com- plexion of the Anglo-Norman cathedral. The three divisions of its setting out, the three stories of its wall, are those of the Benedictine Winchester and Durham — which had been those of the Norman abbeys of Normandy. And in all this, in its retention of monastic setting out as well as in its English detail, it offers itself as distinct from the contemporary style of France.
