What reading level is The Two Knights of the Swan, Lohengrin And Helyas; a Study of the Legend of the Swan-Knight, With Special Reference to Its Most Important Developments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a chanson; and it retained that form, for the most part, until the revision of the entire romance com- prised in the Brussels manuscript, which probably took place in the 14th century. After this period the poetical versions ceased to appear.
The chansons de geste were written for hearers rather than for readers. In the course of time there was a demand for prose renovations of these stories, generally resulting in considerable abbreviation of the interminably expanded narra- tives of th...e older forms, and, consequently, in a greater suitability for general use. The earliest known prose version of the complete story of Le Chevalier au Cygne is contained in a manuscript in the Biblioth^que Nationale at Paris — number 781, formerly 7188. It apparently represents s 6s 66 The Two Knights of the Swan an abstract of the second earliest poetic version {i.e., MS. 162 1 in which Elyas is mentioned) and is considered by M. Pigeonneau to date from about 1220 to 1240.^ To what extent other prose versions existed at that early time is not now known; but, unless there are imdiscovered manu- scripts which may yet see the light of day, there were singularly few prose versions of this particular chanson produced in the following three centuries.
