What reading level is Esmond a Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Passions and methods of reasoning or humour, traits of character, physical peculiarities appear and re-appear most variedly transformed or modified in child and grandchild. At times they will leap a generation from the blending of the elements of the other parent's nature and from the change of circumstances or conditions ; but with strange persistence they will start up again like ghosts of the past It is physical likenesses that persist most. But, as man rises and gains mastery of the materia...l part of him, the spirit acquires the imitative quality. That which the parent develops most in himself as a hard-won habit will often become the instinct of the child, working with the ease of an unconscious function.
It is not virtues, however, or useful spiritual qualities that implant themselves in a race most easily. For the animal in us is ever dragging us down and it needs constant effort to resist its power. The spiritual elements that have close 74 THE CASTLEWOODS affinity with it, the appetites and passions, are ever edging towards excess and dominance.
