What reading level is Alexander Pope book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The manuscript of Tickell's work, which has been preserved, is said to prove this to be an error, and in any case there is no real ground for supposing that Addison did anything more than he admittedly told Pope, that is, read Tickell's manuscript and suggest corrections. To argue seriously about other so-called proofs would be waste of time. They prove nothing except Pope's extreme anxiety to POPE. 43 justify his wild hypothesis of a dark conspiracy. Pope was jeal- ous, spiteful, and credulous.... He was driven to fury by Tickell's publication, which had the appearance of a competition. But angry as he was, he could find no real cause of complaint, except by imagining a fictitious conspiracy ; and this complaint was never publicly uttered till long after Addison's death. Addison knew, no doubt, of Pope's wrath, but probably cared little for it, except to keep himself clear of so dangerous a companion. He seems to have remained on terms of civility with his antagonist, and no one would have been more surprised than he to hear of the quarrel, upon which so much controversy has been expended.
