What reading level is A Short History of Modern English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the very close of 1800, Wordsworth went back to his own Cum- brian county, and for the next half-century he resided, practically without intermission, beside the little lakes which he has made so famous, Grasmere and Rydal.
Here, after marrying in 1802, he lived in great sim- plicity and dignity, gradually becoming the centre of a distinguished company of admirers. From 1799 to 1805 he was at work on the Preludcy a didactic poem in which he elaborated his system of natural religion ; and he ...began at Grasmere to use the sonnet with a persistent mastery and with a freedom such as it had not known since the days of Milton. In 1814 the publication of the Excursion made a great sensation, at first not wholly favourable, and gave to the service of Wordsworth some of the pleasures of martyrdom. In 18 15 the poet col- lected his lyrical writings.
This date, 1814-15, therefore, is critical in the career of Wordsworth : it forced his admirers and his de- tractors alike to consider what was the real nature of the innovation which he had introduced, and to what extreme it could be pushed.
