What reading level is The New Europe Some Essays in Reconstruction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the Italian troops marched through the Porta Pia in 1870, Gregorovius, the chronicler of the medieval Papacy, broke off his diary. A scholar of alien birth, he entered more than any living man into the past of Rome as opposed to her present, and for him the Rome in which he had sojourned for a life-time was dead. Yet no one would seriously claim that to save Gregorovius' historical sentiment millions of Italians ought to have been baulked of their political aspirations, although he obvious...ly voiced the past with far greater single-mindedness than the Papal Government. HISTORICAL SENTIMENT 23 The past, after all, is dead. It cannot speak for itself, and if it is to assert itself against the present, it needs a spokesman in the present to be its advocate. But how are we to be sure that this champion is not really grinding his own axe? Gregorovius was as nearly disinterested as a partisan can be, but what of the protagonist, the Papacy? The Papal apolo- gists who mobilized Rome's past glory on their behalf stood primarily for a tenaciously living vested interest, the Temporal Power, a current political system which gave office, influence, and honour to a ring of clerical monopoUsts.
