What reading level is The Development of English Thought a Study in the Economic Interpretation of Hi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Especially in fighting clans it was necessary to offer every inducement for child-bearing. Festivals, feasts, and social gatherings were designed to provoke the passions.
Under such conditions the first thought of a woman was not to guard her chastity but to escape barrenness. She knew that her position and probably her life depended upon her fertility. Chastity became a dominant motive only after economic welfare had progressed so far that clans began to disintegrate. Before that time barrenne
...ss was the dread of every woman, and she would resort to any means to avoid it. There is probably some truth in the THE CALVINISTS 133 assertion that a woman is more fruitful if she enters into sexual relations when very young and indulges in amuse- ments that create sexual excitement. At least savage races act on these assumptions and incorporate them in their religion. The gods that primitive women worshipped most eagerly were those that prevented barrenness, and these gods were sure to demand of women licentious acts as a means of securing their favour.
