What reading level is Collected Essays volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This strong aversion to the unreal also prevented Mr. Arnold, despite his love of the classical forms, from a non- sensical neopaganism. His was a manlier attitude. He had no desire to keep tugging at the dry breasts of an outworn creed, nor any disposition to go down on his knees, or hunkers* as the Scotch more humor- ously call them, before plaster casts of Venus, or even of ' Proteus rising from the sea. ' There was some- thing very refreshing about this. In the long run even a gloomy truth ...is better company than a cheerful falsehood. The perpetual strain of living down to a lie, the depressing atmosphere of a circumscribed intelligence, tell upon the system, and the cheerful falsehood soon begins to look puffy and dissipated.
• The Youth of Nature.
' For, oh ! is it you, is it you, Moonlight, and shadow, and lake. And mountains, that fill us with joy, Or the poet who sings you so well ?
* Hunkers is not Scotch for knees, but it signifies an attitude put in Scotland to devotional use.
