What reading level is A Short History of French Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Equally im- portant was the influence exerted by those more popular writers who represented the middle-class movement in English Hterature. Defoe, Addison, Richardson, the dramatists Lillo and Moore, strongly appealed to the French bourgeoisie by the congenial character and tendency of their thought, especially when, as for example, in the case of Richardson and Lillo, they combined domestic interest and a sound utihtarian morality with a large vein of sentimentalism.
One other important genera...l feature of the literature now to be considered has also to be emphasised — rits sub- or dination to directly practical aims. Recognising this, some historians of the period have gone so far as to assert that, though the output of books of all sorts was enormous, literature, in the strict sense of the term, had ceased to exist. This is, of course, a rhetorical exaggeration. But it is certainly true that literature was now on the whole cultivated less for its own sake than as a vehicle of ideas.
