What reading level is The Old Rgime Court Salons And Theatres book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, alas! "All that is bright must fade. " The lady's resolve to share her husband's home faded away under the influence of a returning fit of entiui. She declared she could endure his presence no longer, and hastened away, lest ennui ^\\o\i\A give place to dis- gust. Ennui was an epidemic as prevalent then, it would seem, as vapors or nerves. The king was affected by it, and, more or less, society generally. The remedy, with the king, was alternate seclusion and the Rambouillet chase; with so...ciety, it was the salon, though not always an effective one.
The separate income of the marquise was hardly equal to the expense of setting up a salon — a salon that should compete with that of Madame de Tencin or of Madame de Lambert — who, in spite of her eighty- two years, still received weekly, and gave her famous Thursday dinners.
Literature and philosophy scarcely cared to show themselves where there was no prospect of dinner or supper. But where the good things of life were liber- ally provided, it mattered not at all to which section of society the lady who did the honors belonged.
