What reading level is The Makers of Florence. Dante, Giotto, Savonarola, And Their City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So that Can Grande, too, must have felt the power of that message from the dead.
THE CATHEDRAL BUILDERS.
CHAPTER IV.
GROUP I. ARNOLFO — GIOTTO.
IT is curious to step out of the disturbed and turbulent city life, in which nobles and commons, poets, historians, and philosophers, were revolving in a continual turmoil, now up, now down, falling and rising and falling again with all the bitter hopes and fears natural amid vicissitudes so painful, into the artist world, where no such ups or downs see...m to have existed, but where work went on placidly whatever happened. In later days, indeed, such a fiery soul as Michel Angelo might storm or struggle with his country, but the burly peasant Giotto would seem to have taken little thought what or who his employers were, or what was happening in the city where he went about the streets busy and humorous, always some joke on his lips, always some beautiful thought in his heart. Dante might toss himself like a caged bird against the stone walls and closely-barred gates which neither fear nor entreaty would open to him ; Dino Compagni, citizen and chronicler, might first create the history which " lo, Dino " afterwards recorded ; but the painters took no such prominent place in the world.
