What reading level is Aaron Hill Poet Dramatist Projector book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
... A mere poet, that is to say, a wretch who has nothing but the jingle in his brains to ring chimes to his vanity, and whose whole trade is rhyme- jobbing, — such a creature is certainly the most worthless incumbrance of his country." General as this is, it was undoubtedly levelled at Pope, to whom the preface returns for a final petulant fling: "If, after all, it was not the 204 AARON HILL subject, but the poem, that found no favor in his eyes, I will take upon me to assure him, it sues not ...for the bless- ing ; let him take it as ill as he pleases, I dare at least under- take, it shall easily defend itself against any attack of his making; which pray, Sir, inform him, since you are his greatest admirer." Of this outburst Pope took no notice, and Hill must have grown somewhat ashamed of it; for in 1720 he sent Pope another poem — The Creation — accompanied by an apology. 6 Pope, in his acknowledgment, 7 declares himself pleased at the opportunity the gift offers of assuring Hill that he neither did, nor intended doing, him the least injury; he had been in so great a hurry at the time Lintot showed him the poem that he postponed a careful reading for a day or two; but the parts he did glance over he liked, and told Lintot so.
