What reading level is Charles Dickens And Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This place of entertainment was situated inPenton Street, Islington, near the top of Pentonville Road, andwhen Dickens wrote his sketch the place had been in existencenearly a hundred years. Early in the nineteenth century itbecame a place of varied amusements, from balloon ascentsto comic songs. Dickens visited the place about 1835. Thetitles of some of the pieces he mentions as having been sungthere are real, while others (such as 'Red Ruffian, retire')appear to be invented. Of a different ki...nd is the one sung by the giant Pickleson, known in the profession as Rinaldo di Vasco, a characterintroduced to us by Dr. Marigold. I gave him sixpence (for he was kept as short as he was long), and he laid it out on two three penn'orths of gin-and-water, which so brisked him up that he sang the favourite comic of 'Shivery Shakey, ain't it cold?' Perhaps in no direction does the taste of the British publicchange so rapidly and so completely as in their idea of humouras depicted in the comic song, and it is unlikely that whatpassed for humour sixty years ago would appeal to an audienceof the present day.
