What reading level is From Shakespeare to Pope; An Inquiry Into the Causes And Phenomena of the Rise of Classical Poetry in England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Now on the same page (p. 113), we find a statement which, unless Mr. Gosse is prepared to produce his authority for it, we do not scruple to designate a gross and shameful libel on the memory of as worthy a man as ever lived, '■ James Shirley, who had left a starving wife and children behind him, was in attendance (at Paris) upon his Royal Mistress.' This is repeated English Literature at tlie Universities. 309 on pp. 117, 118. Speaking of the 'balls, comedies and prome- nades,' with which • th...e English exiles were regaled at Fontaine- bleau,' in 1646 and 1647, Mr. Gosse says that Shirley was ' certainly ' present at them. Waller and Hobbes probably, but Shirley ' certainly.' Now our only authority for the life of Shir- ley is Anthony Wood, and what Wood says is this : — ' When the rebellion broke out Shirley was invited by his patron, New- castle, to attend him in the war.' This Shirley appears to have done. But after the King's cause declined — we give Wood's own words — ' he, following his old trade of teaching, not only gained a comfortable subsistence, but educated many ingenious youths, who afterwards proved most eminent in divers faculties.' In this honourable drudgery, undertaken for the support of his wife and children, all Shirley's life between about 1644 and 1660, appears to have been passed, and his conduct has elicited just praise from his biographers.
