What reading level is Annals of the English Stage Or Their Majesties Servants volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That audience was roused to the utmost fury by the speech of a man who professed to value wealth far above good name, family, or natural affection. The uproar was so great that the author was compelled to come forward and ask the forbearance of the house till the last act of the piece, in which he promised that this wretched fellow would be brought to condign punishment. Mr. Bickerstaffe very much questions whether modern audiences would be moved to such a laudable horror. It would be very unde...sirable that they should, or that a person should swing out of the house in disgust, as Socrates did when he attended the first representation of a tragedy by his friend Eurip- ides, and was excited to anger by a remark of Hip- politus, to the effect that he had " taken an oath with his tongue but not with his heart. " The maxim was indefensible, but the action of the play required it ; and Socrates had been truer to his friend had he re- mained till the denouement, and not have hurried away while that friend's play was being applauded.
