Baring In Troubadour-Land: A Ramble in Provence and Languedoc Reading ease score: 67.3 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Distributed Proofreaders "In Troubadour-Land: A Ramble in Provence and Languedoc" by S. Baring-Gould is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work explores the rich history, culture, and landscape of the provinces of Provence and Languedoc in France, offering personal anecdotes and reflections of the author’s journey rather than strict historical descriptions. It invites readers to experience the region through the author’s eyes as he navigates its customs, tales, and antiquities. The opening of the text introduces the author’s situation leading to his travels, beginning with a vivid description of flooding in Rome and the dangers posed by typhoid fever. After being prompted by a letter from a publisher to write about Provence, he departs Italy, encountering a colorful German Jew in Florence who provides insight into the local drinking culture and customs. The narrative unfolds with the author reminiscing about his preparations, observations, and the eccentricities of the people he meets, all set against a backdrop of cultural rituals, particularly the unique celebration of Easter in Florence. This engaging and conversational tone sets the stage for the adventures and explorations that will follow in the remainder of the book.
