What reading level is The Unknown Isle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The comradeship acts like the touchstone and brings out the gold or the alloy of her composition. Among the companions of her childhood or her maidenhood, there may be one who awakens her heart. She then has a delicious period of pure love, during which she blos- soms out fully in beauty and sentiment. In marriage, she is a prosaic and good wife. She has given herself to her husband for ever, and she never thinks of taking back what she has given, nor of playing the coquette with her husband. I...t always amuses me to think of an Englishman's bewilderment if his wife were to practise the coquetry of a French wife with her husband.
When in love, the Englishwoman is passionate, without any art. She is not sentimental, but she is always romantic. She is capable of falling in love with a man of inferior rank, with a coachman or courier, and of marrying him, fondly believing him to be a superior being. This characteristic, rarely met with now except among the women of the Northern countries, is often the cause of conjugal faithlessness and this is just as frequent in the Unknown Isle as in France, if not more so.
