What reading level is Apologia Pro Oscar Wilde book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We shall have the whole of our older age to look back on our youth if we choose, and to live our older ages as they may lead us. The intensity and hopefulness of youth is as true as the despair of old age, and has at least as good a claim to its own realization.
Common people try to throw hindrances in the way of youth, and bid the young man prepare for a useful life or a successful profession. They tell him to throw away all that he has, in hopes of someday getting something he doesn't want, a...nd perhaps never will want. Mr. Wilde never stood in (30) the way of young men who wanted, either on their own account or in obedience to their parents or tutors, to use up their youth in such a way. The most that can be said is that he under- stood the old motto, " maxima debetur pueris reverentia, " and when he came across a young man who had ardent enthusiasms of youth, he did not snub them.
That he was not preaching or dictating to them in any way is shown by the fact that he showed the same sympathetic admiration for the religious ardour of a youthful ascetic as for the diligence of a budding scholar, the fantastic aspirations of a young painter, or for any other kind of enthusiasm, whether the object of it was to his taste or not.
