What reading level is A History of Spanish Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Time and unanimity settle many questions : and, after all, on a matter concerning Castilian poetry, the unbroken verdict of the Castilian-speaking race must be accepted as weighty, if not final. Garcilaso may not be a supreme singer : he is at least one of the gi-eaieJ of the Spanish poets. Choosing to reproduce the almost inimitable cadences of the Virgilian eclogue, he achieves his end with a dexterity that approaches genius. Others before him had hit upon what seemed " pretty i' the Mantuan ..." : he alone suggests the secret of Virgil's brooding, incom- municable, and melancholy charm. What Boscan saw to be possible, what he attempted with more good-will than fortune, that Garcilaso did with an instant and peremptory triumph. He naturalised the sonnet, he enlarged the framework of the song, he invented the ode, he so bravely arranged his lines of seven and eleven syllables that the fascination of his harmonies has led historians to forget Bernardo Tasso's priority in discover- ing the resources of the lira.
