What reading level is Dante, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wordsworth is destined, if any poet is, to be im- mortal ; but immortality does not necessarily mean popularity. That in Wordsworth which made one class of readers find in him beauty, grandeur, and truth, which they had never found before, will certainly tell on the same class in future years : What he has loved, Others will love, and he will teach them how.
But mankind is deeply divided in its sympathies and tastes ; and for a large portion of it, not merely of those who read, but of those who... create and govern opinion, that which Wordsworth loved and aimed at and sought to represent will always be the object, not only of indifference but of genuine dislike. Add to this that Wordsworth's genius, though great, and 202 WILLIAM WOEDSWOETH noble, and lofty, was in a marked way limited, and that in his own exposition and defence of his view of poetry he was curiously and unfortunately one-sided and inadequate, and provokingly stiff and dogmatic.
This, of course, only affected an extinct controversy.
