What reading level is Alarums And Excursions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A world of scoundrels undismayed, of rogues with a sense of style, doxies and wives, soon to be hempen widows, gazing tearless upon the heroic turning-off, Polly was of gentler mould. The picture she makes of her lover going to the gallows is of the most touching simplicity. " I see him sweeter than the nosegay in his hand ; the admiring crowd lament that so lovely a youth should come to an untimely end ; even butchers weep, and Jack Ketch refuses his fee rather than consent to tie the fatal kn...ot." All, it would appear, were exquisites who came to this tree. "He was but sixteen," says the biographer of Roderick Audrey. "He went very decent to the gallows, being in a white waistcoat, clean napkin, white gloves, and an orange in his hand." The Beggars Opera was Hazlitt's favourite satire. Plentiful references to it abound through- out the essays, which contain two full-dress de- scriptions of the plot, and the lessons in morality to be drawn therefrom. In both Hazlitt stresses the vulgar error which would call this a vulgar play, and harks back to that " happy alchemy of mind " which can extract the essence of 140 A View of The Beggar's Opera refinement from the dregs of life.
