What reading level is A Psychological Counter-Current in Recent Fiction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is no reason in history why itshould not be so, if wrong is to be repaid with hate, and yet it wouldbe better if it was not so bitter. I am not saying that he is soinartistic as to play the advocate; whatever his minor foibles may be, he is an artist whom his stepbrother Americans may well be proud of;but while he recognizes pretty well all the facts in the case, he istoo clearly of a judgment that is made up. One cannot blame him forthat; what would one be one's self? If the tables could... once beturned, and it could be that it was the black race which violently andlastingly triumphed in the bloody revolution at Wilmington, NorthCarolina, a few years ago, what would not we excuse to the white manwho made the atrocity the argument of his fiction?
Mr. Chesnutt goes far back of the historic event in his novel, andshows us the sources of the cataclysm which swept away a legalgovernment and perpetuated an insurrection, but he does not paint theblacks all good, or the whites all bad. He paints them as slavery madethem on both sides, and if in the very end he gives the moral victoryto the blacks--if he suffers the daughter of the black wife to havepity on her father's daughter by his white wife, and while her ownchild lies dead from a shot fired in the revolt, gives her husband'sskill to save the life of her sister's child--it cannot be said thateither his aesthetics or ethics are false.
