What reading level is A book of Prefaces book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, a somewhatbowdlerized English edition, published by William Heinemann in 1901, made a fair success, and even provoked a certain mild controversy. Butthe author's income from the book remained almost _nil_, and so he wasforced to seek a livelihood in other directions. His history during thenext ten years belongs to the tragicomedy of letters. For five of themhe was a Grub Street hack, turning his hand to any literary job thatoffered. He wrote short stories for the popular magazines, or... specialarticles, or poems, according as their needs varied. He concoctedfabulous tales for the illustrated supplements of the Sunday newspapers. He rewrote the bad stuff of other men. He returned to reporting. He didodd pieces of editing. He tried his hand at one-act plays. He evenventured upon advertisement writing. And all the while, the best that hecould get out of his industry was a meagre living.
In 1905, tiring of the uncertainties of this life, he accepted a post onthe staff of Street & Smith, the millionaire publishers of cheapmagazines, servant-girl romances and dime-novels, and here, in the veryslums of letters, he laboured with tongue in cheek until the next year.
