To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same remark is true of the Middle Ages, as of our own, and of every age. If the state of society is shadowed forth in its literature, then this literature must necessari- ly represent two distinct and strongly marked characters ; — one, of the castle and the court ; another, of the middle classes and the popu- lace ; — the former, elegant, harmonious, and delicate ; the latter, rude, grotesque, and vul- gar. Each of these classes has its own pecu- liar merits ; but our manuscripts, by prese...nting them to us united, sometimes in the same vol- ume, and always upon the same shelves of our libraries, have led us insensibly into the habit of confounding the manners of the court with those of the city. Hence great prejudices have arisen against the purity of some of our most estimable writers, and against the refine- Ancient French Romances i/ ment of society in those ages in which they were admired. Hence, too, all the difficulties which later historians have encountered, when, before classifying their authorities, they have sought to examine anew the manners and cus- toms of an age.
