What reading level is Definitions First Series Essays in Contemporary Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a well-written book does not sell, it is because the Puritans warped our sense of beauty; if an honest dis cussion of sex is attacked for indecency, it is the fault of the Puritan inheritance; if the heroes and heroines of new narratives in prose or verse jazz their way to destruction or impotence, it is in protest against the Puritans. Who is this terrible Puritan? Apparently he is all America's ancestor, and whether you were born in Dela ware or in South Carolina, in Montana or in Jugoslav...ia, you must adopt him as great-great-grandfather or declare yourself alien. What was he, or rather, what did he stand for, and inflict upon us, to-day? Here there is some confusion. According to one set of critics he is not so much a hater of the arts as indifferent to their charms, not so much a Milton scornful of easy beauty, as a Philistine, deaf and blind to the esthetic. But these writers have apparently confounded Great-great-grandfather Puri tan with Grandpa Victorian, the Victorian that Mat thew Arnold scolded and Shaw made fun of.
