What reading level is English Literature 1880 1905 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We can judge his nature with tolerable accuracy from many of the characters which appear in his own works — as he himself says in his preface to Man and Superman, the author must be judged by those characters into which he puts what he knows of himself, his Hamlets and Macbeths and Lears and Prosperos. And in the same preface Mr. Shaw has unwittingly given us yet another key to his whole char- acter, when he says, " This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recog- nised by your...self as a mighty one ; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown II i6i ENGLISH LITERATURE on the scrap-heap ; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ail- ments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. " This indeed is the true fundamental Shaw : all his life he has lacked happiness ; that is to say, he lacked artistic harmony and unity, and however much his works may interest or amuse us, we, as artists, are faced with the fact that there is an inartistic bitterness and rest- lessness in almost every one of Shaw's char- acters, in almost every page he wrote.
