What reading level is Essays On Poetry And Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For we will not admit the new-fangled doctrine, that, so long as the form is good, the substance is of no consequence, and that art may say anything, however absurd, false, or atrocious, provided she says it prettily. Art falls below VICTOR HUGO. 183 herself, and unduly narrows her own scope, if she become a prude ; yet if she distort Nature, or the grand spiritual laws that underlie and form Nature, she is no longer Art at all, but at best a harlot masquerading in the guise of Art.
She may not... so one-sidedly and persistently misrepresent things as virtually, even if not by set phrase, to become pander for " the ape and tiger " in humanity. The Divine Artist, who speaks through conscience and the human heart, does not ignore morality ; he who does so remains for ever outside the domain of high art, however swiftly his deft fingers may travel over the whole gamut of men's lusts, hatreds, and chicaneries. Nor may she, like the later Realism, fix our stare, as by some photographic head-rest, too persistently on loathsome, or sordid details of life, bid- ding us look only at these, as if they, forsooth, were all the world — nor stifle us through her own near-sightedness, and mad monstrous appetite for offal, with the hopeless and desperate sense that this low dank vault of theirs, without egress, lit only by some occasional corpse-candle, wherein they have confined us, is indeed the universe, beyond which there is nothing at all.
