What reading level is The Soul of Denmark book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As you wander the length of Jutland, you are look- ing at the faces about you. This is no Zealand face, but a harder, leaner jaw, with something of leather in it, something of the old Covenanters, Cromwell's Ironsiders, or the American New Englander. There is a glint in the eye, something almost sullen if it had not been Danish, hard, which gives you ideas and brings back to you the Scotsman whom you have left away at the back of beyond. Sometimes you almost sense a heightening of the cheekbone... that might be Celtic. When you stray from the beaten track and get amongst the fisher-folk or the little farmers who cultivate those vast stretches of heathland over on the West Coast, you might be amongst the Men of the Kilt; certainly you are amongst a people other than the Zealanders — a people of imagination, perhaps, a folk of harder mould.
They are not without the traces of a folk-lore, and they are not, except so far as they have the earth- lust, earth-bound. They are the first people you have met in Denmark who have anything of what I 90 THE SOUL OF DENMARK speak of later as "the four-dimensional idea" — not much, but something.
