What reading level is A Study of Ben Jonson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Were Jonson to be placed among the gods of song, we should have to say of him what ^schylus says of Death — fxovou Se YleiGw 5ai/j. 6pcov airoaTarel.
The spirit of persuasive enchantment, the goddess of entrancing inspiration, kept aloof from him alone of all his peers or rivals. To men far weaker, to poets not worthy to be named with him Underwoods 103 on the score of creative power, she gave the gift which from him was all but utterly withheld. And therefore it is that his place is not beside... Shake- speare, Milton, or Shelley, but merely above Dryden, Byron, and Crabbe. The verses on Penshurst are among his best, wanting neither in grace of form nor statelirfess of sound, if too surely wanting in the indefinable quality of distinction or inspiration : and the farewell to the world has a •savour of George Herbert's style about it which suggests that the sacred poet must have been a sometime student of the secular. Beaumont, again, must have taken as a model of his lighter lyric style the bright and ringing verses on the proposition ' that women are but men's shadows.
