What reading level is A Century of Great Actors, 1750-1850 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When Kean realized to the utmost "Othello's occu- 286 A CENTURY OF GREAT ACTORS pation's gone ! " he had a stroke. Soon after Garrick gave up acting he died. They neither of them had enough to fall back upon. Kean had literally nothing.
Garrick had not sufficient. It is a pity they had not the opportunity to read Lamb's "Superannuated Man." Garrick and Kean were masters, Macready was a student, a student in every sense of the word, with immense ability, and with genuine love for the drama, thou...gh not much for acting it. His heart was always in the study, sometimes in the stalls, but seldom on the stage. He knew good acting when he saw it, and loved it. He recognized Kean's wonderful abilities the moment he saw him, in the face of parental oppo- sition. In after life, when he played with Kean during his melancholy final appearances, Macready said that there was still something ineffably grand about the wreck. Although his own performance of Richard III rivalled, and some competent critics even considered surpassed Kean's, there were moments in the great actor's work that he knew he could not touch, moments of real genius.
