What reading level is A Defence of the Drama Containing Mansels Free Thoughts Extracts From the Mos book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides shou Id you ask the bishops and prelates what they think of plays, they would declare, that when they are modest, and have nothing in them which wounds morality and Christi- anity, they do not pretend to censure them. And even if they were silent in the case, one may guess at their opinion by their con- duct, since in those very diocesses where those severe rituals are used, plays are acted, tolerated, and perhaps approved. If they 147 are bad, why are they tolerated ? As they are acted... at Paris, I see no fault in them* It is true, I cannot pass a definitive judg- ment upon them, since I never go to see them ; but there are three very easy modes of knowing what is done at the theatres; and I acknowledge that I have made use of all three. The first is, to inform one's self of it by men of sense and probity, who, out of that horror they have to sin, would not allow themselves to be present at those exhibitions, if sinful. The next is, tojudge by the confessions of those who go thither of the evil effects which plays produce upon their minds.
