What reading level is Biographical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A few mornings before he died, he wasfound very early in his library writing on the immortality of thesoul. This was an effort of delirium; and he suffered otherwisefrom this affection of the brain, and from inability to think inhis closing hours. But his humanity and goodness, it was remarked, had survived his intellectual faculties. He died on the 30th ofMay, 1744; and so quietly, that the attendants could notdistinguish the exact moment of his dissolution.
We had prepared an account of Pope'...s quarrels, in which we hadshown that, generally, he was not the aggressor; and often wasatrociously ill used before he retorted. This service to Pope'smemory we had judged important, because it is upon these quarrelschiefly that the erroneous opinion has built itself of Pope'sfretfulness and irritability. And this unamiable feature of hisnature, together with a proneness to petty manoeuvring, are themain foibles that malice has been able to charge upon Pope's moralcharacter. Yet, with no better foundation for their malignity thanthese doubtful propensities, of which the first perhaps was aconstitutional defect, a defect of his temperament rather than hiswill, and the second has been much exaggerated, many writers havetaken upon themselves to treat Pope as a man, if not absolutelyunprincipled and without moral sensibility, yet as mean, little-minded, indirect, splenetic, vindictive, and morose.
