What reading level is Dryden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The second was a faculty of satire, properly so called, which was entirely novel. The third was a faculty of specious argument in verse, which, as has been said, no one save Lucretius has ever equalled ; and which, if it falls short of the great Roman's in logical exactitude, hardly falls short of it in poetical ornament, and excels it in a sort of triumphant vivacity which hurries the reader along, iv. ] SATIRICAL AND DIDACTIC POEMS. 75 whether he will or no. All these three gifts are almost i...n- differently exemplified in the series of poems now under discussion, and each of them may deserve a little consid- eration before we proceed to give account of the poems themselves.
The versification of English satire before Dryden had been almost without exception harsh and rugged. There are whole passages of Marston and of Donne, as well as more rarely of Hall, which can only be recognised for verse by the rattle of the rhymes and by a diligent scansion with the finger. Something the same, allowing for the influence of Waller and his school, may be said of Marvell and even of Oldham.
