What reading level is A Reader's History of American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is ac- companied by a child ; and it subsequently turns out that he really left Boston about the time of the Boston massacre, before the Revo- lution (1770), and has been traveling ever since, — the explanation being that he was once overtaken by a storm at Menotomy, now Arlington, a few miles from Boston, and that being a man of violent temper he swore to Digitized by VjOOQ IC NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE 189 get home that night or never see home again.
Thenceforth he is always traveling ; a cloud a...nd a storm always follow him, and every horse that sees his approach feels abject ter- ror. The conception is essentially Hawthorne- like ; and so are the scene and the accesso- ries. The time to which Rugg's career dates back is that border land of which Hawthorne was so fond, between the colonial and the modem period ; and the old localities, dates, costumes, and even coins are all introduced in a way to remind us of the greater artist.
But what is most striking in the tale is what may be called the penumbra^ — a word de- fined in astronomy as that portion of space which in an eclipse is partly but not entirely deprived of light; and in painting, as the boundary of shade and light, where the one blends with the other.
