What reading level is Creative Criticism; Essays On the Unity of Genius And Taste book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, what is meant by this idea, by no means modern, but in our day more per- sistent than ever, that the peculiar char- acteristic of dramatic literature is that it is DRAMATIC CRITICISM 81 intended for an assembled crowd? Ob- viously not merely that men are more impressionable in crowds than when alone, and that the dramatist has an advantage over most other writers in that he may make his appeal to men when they are most impressionable. This may be Ba- con's thought, but it is far from being... Diderot's or Schlegel's or Mr. Walkley's.
What these men assert is that the crowd is inherent in the very idea of a play, and that this crowd has a peculiar psychology different in kind from that of any in- dividual composing it. Indeed, I believe I have read some nighty utterances of late to the effect that so far from remaining civilized beings, we all revert to our primi- tive savage state when we become part of a crowd, and that the drama must therefore always appeal to what is primitive and savage in our natures more than any other form of literature.
