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

Peter, these three had gone out of college, broken the Chancellor's door and killed a student of law. The Chancellor could neither sleep in his house by night nor walk in the High Street by day for fear of these men." The arriyal of the Archbishop at Oxford, then, to hold a visitation at S. Mary's, was a signal for an outbreak. S. Mary's was barricaded and a band of scholars armed with bows, swords and bucklers awaited the Primate. Notwithstanding the interdict laid on the Church, John Birch of... Oriel, one of the Proctors, took the keys, opened the doors, had the bell rung as usual, and even celebrated High Mass there.
S. Mary's, it will be remembered, belonged to Oriel.
Hence, perhaps, the active resistance of these Oriel Fellows and of the Dean of Oriel, John Rote, who asked "why should we be punished by an interdict on our church for other people's faults ? " And he elegantly added, ** The Devil go with the Archbishop and break his neck." The controversy was at last referred to the king.
