What reading level is The Life of Queen Elizabeth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is not the least ground for the assertion that in promoting a reconciliation with Alengon, Orange acted under pressure from Elizabeth. Everything goes to show that he, the wisest and noblest statesman of his time, thought it the only course open to the States, unless they were prepared to submit to Philip. Both Elizabeth and Orange felt that the first necessity was to keep the quarrel alive between the Frenchman and the Spaniard. The English Queen therefore continued to feed Alen^on with ...hopes of marriage, and the States patched up a reconciliation with him (March, 1583). But his heart failed him. He saw Parma taking town after town. He knew that he had made him- self odious to the ITetherlanders. He was covered with shame. He was fatally stricken with consump- tion. In June, 1583, he left Belgium never to return. Within a twelvemonth he was dead.
100 QUEEN ELIZABETH.
