What reading level is A Manual of Italian Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The patronage of the great was withdrawn, and that of the public had hardly begun. Thus writers, unless possessed of ample means, had bitter struggles with poverty and obscurity. Some, like Muratori and Parini, entered the Church and became monks or abb6s.
Others, like Baretti and Algarotti, sought their fortune in foreign lands. The impudent piracy of books, and the unauthorised performance of plays deprived even popular authors of the reward of their labours. Goldoni, after spending many year...s in producing comedies that deserved and obtained applause, was glad to find an asylum in France as reader of Italian to the three daughters of Louis XV.
The great merit of the Eighteenth Century, in Italy as elsewhere, was its light-heartedness and humanity ; the great defect, its materialism and frivolity. Indeed, it would be hard to conceive a more enervating atmosphere than surrounded many Italian poets, especially in the earlier part of 1 50 ITALIAN LITERATURE.
the Century ; and unhappily, the numerous literary Academies, instituted all over the Peninsula, in- stead of arresting the evil, positively aggravated it, as they devoted their attention, with few excep- tions, to subjects and thoughts of the most trifling description.
