What reading level is The Power of Dante book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" Nothing could be more delicate than Dante's compliments to benefactors, unless it were his words of comfort to suffering penitents. We have observed how loath he is, in Purgatory, to walk, staring and silent, past a row of repentant spirits who, temporarily blinded, cannot look at him. A very pattern of refinement, with a tincture of sedate playfulness, is the colloquy between Vir- gil, Statius, and, as an unwilling participant, the poet himself. In his relations with his friends we note the ...same sweet delicacy. He does not in any of his works say much about friendship; the theme was perhaps too intimate to come within the bounds prescribed by his code of behavior. Yet in his occasional mention of Guido Cavalcanti, his " first friend, " of that unnamed relative of Beatrice who was next in the order of friendship, [90] TEMPERAMENT of Cino da Pistoia, his fellow-poet, in his meet- ing with Guide's father in Hell, with the musician Casella on the shore of the mountain, with Forese Donati in Purgatory itself, with Charles Martel in Heaven, we have evidence of that consid- erate tenderness which makes friendship beautiful.
