What reading level is A History of American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In a letter of January, 1850, he wrote to a friend: My poems hitherto have been a true record of my life, and I mean that they shall continue to be. ... I begin to feel that I must enter on a new year of my apprenticeship. My poems thus far have had a regular and natural sequence. First, Love and the mere happiness of existence beginning to be conscious of itself, then Freedom both being the sides which Beauty presented to me and now I am going to try more wholly after Beauty herself. ... I hav...e preached sermons enow, and now I am going to come down out of the pulpit and go about among my parish. ... I find that Reform cannot take up the whole of me, and I am quite sure that eyes were given us to look about us with sometimes, and not to be always looking forward. ... I am tired of controversy.
Out of such a mood as this came the natural decision to make his first and long-deferred trip to Europe, a sojourn of fifteen months in 1851-1852 with his wife and children. His wide reading of foreign literatures gave the keys to an under standing of the peoples among whom he traveled, and especially JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL 287 to an understanding of Roman culture.
