What reading level is Complete Rhetoric book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His choice of terms, his way of putting them together, make (to speak conventionally) the garment of his METHODS OF EXPRESSION — STYLE. 143 thought, showing by the fall 'of the folds (when once you have learned to read) what he likes, what he can do, — his clumsiness, his cleverness, his imagination, his delights.
If the words carry too much ornament, you may know that he is greedy of pleasure; if too little, that he is hard, dry, insensitive, and the like; if too great bulk, that he is affecte...d; if full of commonplaces set forth with solemnity or flourish, that he is silly; if volubly uttered, with volume of sound, reaching us as sounds and nothing more, that he is unreal and hollow; if murky or obscure, that he has a confused habit of mind, vagueness and indirectness of purpose. At root, the virtues of style are moral. Hence the saying of Milton, that he who would write good poetry must make his life a poem. It is partly, no doubt, because style is the unconscious revelation of the hidden self, that men are influenced by language as much as by ideas.
