What reading level is A Life of William Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The distinction does not depend on the mere qual- ity of historical events in the play compared with the fictions — for there is as much history in Mac- beth as in Richard — but in the relation of the his- tory to the plot. In the purely historical plays, the history forms the plot ; in the mixed, it directs it ; in the rest, as Macbeth, Hamlet, Cymbeline, Lear, it subserves it. . . . The spirit of 'patriotic reminis- cence is the all-permeating soul of this noble work.
It is, perhaps, the most... purely historical of Shake- speare's dramas. There are not in it, as in the others, characters introduced merely for the pur- pose of giving a greater individuality and realness, as in the comic parts of Henry IV., by presenting, as it were, our very selves. Shakespeare avails himself of every opportunity to effect the great object of the historic drama, that, namely, of famil- iarizing the people to the great names of their 1 86 Life of Shakespeare country, and thereby of exciting a steady patriot- ism, a love of just liberty, and a respect for all those fundamental institutions of social life which bind men together." The date of A Midsummer-Night'' s Dream has been the subject of much controversy, and the decisions of the critics concerning it have been widely diver- gent, ranging from 1590 to 1598 and including every year between.
