[@alinadaoust1889]

I did not like reading this book because I couldn’t appreciate the storyline with the old English, but listening to it made it so much easier and I actually enjoyed it this is a sad book tho 🥺

[@rageagainstthemicrowave1313]

The English in this is more Victorian, I think. For reference, Shakespeare (1500s) was Early Modern English, and we can sort of understand it. But old english (500s-1200s) would need translation--Like Beowulf. It would sound more like german and look something like, "Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon..." (I just copy pasted that I have no clue what it says.)

What I don’t get is why Pride and Prejudice (written before 1800, published in 1815) is so much easier to read/follow than works from 50 years later…

[@kjova251]

I think because the author was trying to make it sound as though it were written in the mid 1600s. But that being said I found it more difficult than Shakespeare

[@Firguy]

Evidently, this book was written in adherence to standards that predated Ernest Hemingway's revolutionary approach to writing prose, which came from his experience as a writer for newspapers, which can essentially be boiled down to saying as much as one can in as few words as possible.
