What reading level is A Comparative Estimate of Modern English Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even Coleridge, en- sheathed as he was in the glittering armour of the German phi- losophies, failed to inoculate his companion's hard mind with any insight into those distinctions which have revolutionized metaphysical science. Out of the contracted circle in which his views were confined, he seldom looked, except to hiss out, in short glittering epigrammatic sentences, his dislikes for the dense bulk of humanity lying beyond his own pale of orthodoxy. That such a man should confine himself to... his library, and abandon the great world for books, was strictly in keeping with his mental constitution, and with the exclusive doctrines that constitution had espoused ; but that he should attempt to rival Homer or Dante was a serious blunder. His habits acted upon his temperament, and his exclusive opinions upon both, to generate that state of mind in which any truthful delinea- tion of mankind, engaged upon the broad highways of human action, was a sheer impossibility.
Southey's strong point is the delineation of natural scenery ; the weakest; the selection of commonplace topics, which, in his epics, he amplifies with such prolixity that the jaded reader abandons the subject through very irksomeness of the flesh.
