What reading level is The Life of Fenelon Archbishop of Cambrey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gregory Na- zianzen wrote. A kind of minute scholas- 180 tic subtlety had taken place of sound taste and judgment. The fathers were generally educated by the wrangling rhetoricians of their times, and naturally fell into the gene- ral manner : yet they seem continually to struggle against it. To speak in a simple and natural manner was then generally es- teemed a fault : declamation, not elo- quence, was the leading object. But if we bestow on the writings of the fathers a patient and impartial... perusal, we shall discover in them pearls of inestimable value. St. Cyprian possesses a greatness of spirit, and a vehemence, resembling those of Demosthenes. We find in St. Chrysostom an exquisite judgment, noble images, a feeling and amiable morality. St. Augustin is at once sublime and popu- lar ; he rises into dignity, by the most sim- ple expressions. He converses, he inter- rogates, he answers. It is a conversation between him and his hearers ; his similes, generally introduced very opportunely, throw light on his subject.
