What reading level is Attic & Elizabethan Tragedy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No wonder, then, of course, that the poet's free treatment of the myths and of the gods involved him in suspicion. Yet atheist he was not; for the only atheist in his works is the Cyclops, whose ignorant brutality seems a rebuke on all his tribe.
But though his plays reflected thus remarkably the spirit of his times, he was only successful in gaining a first prize on four occasions, and, for the first time, only in his fortieth year. He was not a flatterer of his times, nor did the conservatism... of a radical populace approve of his free handling of the stories of their gods. Besides, the age does not always recognise itself in drama ; or if it do, it seldom feels flattered by the recognition ; so, late in life, he had to remove to the Court of the Macedonian king Archelaus. His times were "out of joint." Tradition makes him sit in the Isle of Salamis, his birth-isle, composing his plays, in view of the changing sea, with its myriad moods reflecting the changeful complexion of his own soul, with its doubts, its search for the abiding amidst fluctuating uncertainties, — its hopeless, faithless quest for hope and faith.
