What reading level is A Quarter Century of English Literature 1880 1905 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We must carefully distinguish the hu- manitarian impulse of a preceding genera- tion, aiming only at the exposure and remedy of special abuses, from the more general and far deeper social criticism with which recent literature has become infused. The attacks made by Dickens and Reade upon the management of prisons and mad- houses, upon courts of chancery and pri- vate schools, had little in common with the terrific indictment of modern society im- plicit in the later books of Thomas Hardy. Or, ...to take examples having nothing to do with literature in the narrow sense, yet ex- tremely significant in the social sense, a comparison might be made between "Uncle Tom ' s Cabin " and " The Jungle. ' ' There is all the difference that exists between the exhibition of an ulcer and a diagnosis of 2^ poison in the blood. One is within the reach of surgery; the other (assuming the diagnosis to be correct) calls for nothing less than complete renovation of the social organism.
As a consequence of the new-found will- ingness of many of our writers to look life squarely in the face, our literature has lost that fine quality of reticence which was its distinctive mark in the last generation.
