What reading level is Essays in Modernity Criticisms And Dialogues book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Could parody go further than a line like ' Spy, smirk, scoff, snap, snort, snivel, snarl and sneer ' ?
Or, to take an example from the Songs, how ineffec- tive are lines like this : ' Through flight and fight and all the fluctuant fear ' !
It is something very like balderdash.
There is still more to say. Mr. Swinburne's democracy has not the genuine ring. The trail of the amateur-enthusiast is over it all. What demo- cracy is, what it means, and what it wants, is wholly outside his view, as ind...eed it is, with perhaps one or two exceptions, outside the view of every well-known writer of our time. Indeed, this pseudo-democracy, this apotheosis by light-headed schoolboys of the ' People, the gray-grown, speechless Christ, ' is, unless viewed as a merely poetical exercise, rather disgust- ing. It is one thing to sing of Socialism, the Socialism of the Italian Unionists, of the French Anti-Imperialists, of the Russian Nihilists : these are for the most part men and women of education, or, in the usual terms, gentlemen and ladies; and the enthusiastic lady or gentleman poet can enter into their point of view ; but it is quite another thing to sing of the peasants and mechanics, labourers and trades-unionists, whose aims, whether for ultimate good or evil, are not in the least grasped and under- stood.
