What reading level is A Study of American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

His prose and poetry are its most valuable contents. This also failed to sup- port itself. A remarkably lucid grouping of its chief contributors and contents is given by Professor Wendell (pp. 302-304).
Emerson had lost, in 1834 and 1836, two of his brothers, who shared his genius in large measure.
But the heaviest shock his self-centered optimistic faith received was the sudden death, in 1842, of his son and eldest child, Waldo, really a marvelous bo}^, in his sixth year. The poem " Threnody "
... is a most tender, pathetic, and intimate utterance. We feel the heart-throbs as in no other of his verses. The fact that such an utterance was actually in rhyme strengthens our belief that Emerson was at heart a poet, lacking only, as he says of Plato, the lyric form, if even that.
In 1847-1849 he was again in England, and had great success as a lecturer, chiefly with a series of papers afterward published as *' Representative Men." In this book he comes nearest to full sympathy with the author of " Heroes and Hero Worship " ; but while THE CONCORD GROUP 133 Carlyle glories in the force of a great man for it- self, Emerson always seeks the eternal Idea behind all.
