What reading level is The Continental Reformation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Five Forest Cantons, which commanded the voting power of the Diet, were rural democracies, bound by pensions and interest to the Pope, and sparsely populated by countrymen devoted to the old faith. Opposed to them stood the cities, Bern, Basel, and Ziirich ; and as these were municipal republics with governments more or less aristocratic, and the weight of numbers, wealth, and intelligence on their side, the burghers resented their bondage in the Diet, and were disposed to take an independe...nt line as well in religion as 74 THE CONTINENTAL REFORMATION in politics. Reformation and redistribution became part of the same programme ; and, as in Germany, where the Diet was equally unrepresentative of the nation, religious questions fell to the decision of the separate states. But there was this difference, that in Zurich or Bern movements came from below, and the Town Council was frequently called in to retard or regulate what the people themselves desired.
This communal character of the Swiss Reformation was accentuated by the ecclesiastical conditions of the Confederation.
