What reading level is Thomas De Quincey's Joan of Arc And the English Mail-Coach book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The famines, the extraordinary diseases, the insurrections of the peasantry up and down Europe — these were chords struck from the same mysterious harp; but these were transitory chords. There had been others of deeper and more ominous sound. The termination of the Crusades, the destruction of the Templars, the Papal interdicts, the tragedies caused or suffered by the house of Anjou, and by the emperor — these f^ 12 T>E QUTNCEY were full of a more permanent significance. But, since then, the co...lossal figure of feudalism was seen standing, as it were on tiptoe, at Cr^cy, for flight from earth : that was a revolu- tion unparalleled ; yet that was a trifle by comparison with the more fearful revolutions that were mining below the church.
By her own internal schisms, by the abominable spectacle of a double pope — so that no man, except through political bias, could even guess which was Heaven's vicegerent, and which the creature of hell — the church was rehearsing, as in still earlier forms she had already rehearsed, those vast rents in her foundations which no man should ever heal.
