What reading level is English Prose From Bacon to Hardy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dennis is offended, that Menenius, a senator of Rome, should play the buffoon ; and Voltaire perhaps thinks decency violated when the Danish Usurper is represented as a drunkard. But Shakespeare always makes nature predominate over accident ; and if he preserves the essential character, is not very careful of distinctions super- induced and adventitious. His story requires Romans or kings, but he thinks only on men. He knew that Rome, like every other city, had men of all dispositions ; and wan...ting a buffoon, he went into the senate-house for that which the senate -house would certainly have afforded him. He was inclined to show an usurper and a murderer not only odious but despicable, he therefore added drunkenness to his other qualities, knowing that kings love wine like other men, and that wine exerts its natural power upon kings. These are the petty cavils of petty minds ; a poet overlooks the casual dis- tinction of country and condition, as a painter, satisfied with the figure, neglects the drapery.
