What reading level is American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We used to walk in from the country to the Masonic Temple (I think it was), through the crisp winter night, and listen to that thrilling voice of his, so charged with 150 subtle meaning and subtle music, as shipwrecked men on a raft to the hail of a ship that came with unhoped-for food and rescue. Cynics might say what they liked. Did our own imaginations transfigure dry remainder-biscuit into ambrosia ? At any rate, he brought us life, which, on the 155 whole, is no bad thing. Was it all trans...cendentalism ? magic-lantern pictures on mist? As you will. Those, then, were just what we wanted. But it was not so. The delight and the benefit were that he put us in communica tion with a larger style of thought, sharpened our wits with 160 a more pungent phrase, gave us ravishing glimpses of an ideal under the dry husk of our New England; made us conscious of the supreme and everlasting originality of JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL 257 whatever bit of soul might be in any of us ; freed us, in short, from the stocks of prose in which we had sat so long that we had grown wellnigh contented in our cramps.
