What reading level is The Old Norse Element in Swedish Romanticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Hake, a mighty sea-king, with twelve champions, including Starkad the Old, set out for Sweden, killed the inactive Hug- leik and his two sons, and became ruler of the country for a period of three years. In the meantime Jorund and Eric, sons of Yngve, had grown up and won renown and Hake had sent his own warriors away. Jorund and Eric made use of their 81 opportunity ; they came to Sweden, were welcomed by the peo- ple, and set out for Uppsala to recapture the throne for the Yngve race. In the ...battle that follows Eric is slain and Jorund is at first forced to flee, but Hake has been mortally wounded in the fray; he is laid "almost dead, or dead, " upon his ship, the burning boat is sent out to sea, and Jorund returns to be- come king of Sweden. Chapter 28 of the saga, which Gran- berg disregards entirely, tells us further that Jorund was finally hanged by King Gylog while on a plundering expedition to Denmark.
Granberg states in his preface that he followed the opinions of those also who applied Saxo's story to Sweden.
