What reading level is Currents And Eddies in the English Romantic Generation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Childe Harold" includes Alfieri with Michael Angelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli among the mighty dead of Santa Croce; and Shelley wrote home in 1821 that Byron "is occupied in forming a new drama, and, with views which I doubt not will expand as he proceeds, is determined to write a series of plays, in which he will follow the French tragedians and Alfieri, rather than those of England and Spain. " Shelley added very truly, "This seems to me the wrong road. " "Manfred, " which was written before... the author fell into this doctrinaire mood, is worth all the later dramas put together. The critical theories preached in the Prefaces to these are faint Drydenic echoes, nothing more. In Byron's letters, however, we find evidence that he was darkly grop- ing toward truths which the later experience of the theater has emphasized. The writing of a great tragedy "is not to be done by following the old dramatists, who are full of gross faults, pardoned only for the beauty of their language. " "There is room for a dif- ferent style of the drama; neither a servile following of the old drama, which is a grossly erroneous one, nor yet too French^ like those who succeeded the older writers.
