What reading level is Five Types a book of Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Mr Baildon might as well say that Dr Conan Doyle delights in committing inexplicable crimes, that Mr Clark Russell is a notorious pirate, 35 STEVENSON and that Mr Wilkie Collins thought that one could hardly be better employed than in stealing moonstones and falsifying mar- riage registers. But Mr Baildon is scarcely alone in this error : few people have under- stood properly the goriness of Stevenson. Stevenson was essentially the robust school- boy who draws skeletons and gibbets in his Lat...in grammar. It was not that he took pleasure in death, but that he took pleasure in life, in every muscular and emphatic action of life, even if it were an action that took the life of another. Let us suppose that one gentleman throws a knife at another gentleman and pins him to the wall. It is scarcely necessary to remark that there are in this transaction two somewhat varying personal points of view. The point of view of the man pinned is the tragic and moral point of view, and this Stevenson showed clearly 36 STEVENSON that he understood in such stories as ' The Master of Ballantrae ' and ' Weir of Her- miston.
