What reading level is Ephemera Critica; Or, Plain Truths About Current Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Jesse Johnson would be the last to dispute the claim made for Shakespeare as a hard- working playwright clearing his twenty-five thousand dollars a year (Mr. Jesse Johnson is calculating his income according to the present 221 SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS time) — ^but "to Shakespeare working as an actor, adapter or perhaps author came a very great poet, one who outclassed all the writers of that day, and it is the poetry of that great unknown which, flowing into Shakespeare's work, comprises all or ne...arly aU of it which the world treasures or cares to remember." If we told Mr. Jesse Johnson, and all who resemble Mr. Jesse Johnson, the truth about their productions, we are quite certain of one thing — but the one thing of which we are certain it would, perhaps, be good taste in us to leave unsaid.
Of a very different order is Mr. Samuel Butler's Shakespeare's Sonnets Reconsidered.
This is the work of a scholar, but of a scholar mounted on a hobby-horse of unusually vigorous mettle. Mr. Butler begins with a tremendous onslaught on the theories of the Southampton- ites, the Herbertists and the anti-autobiographical party ; and in this part of his work he has certainly much to say which is both pertinent and plaus- ible, nay, in our opinion, convincing.
