What reading level is Henry James, Jr. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
James's way topaint in some story the present phase of change in England. A titledpersonage is still mainly an inconceivable being to us; he is like agoblin or a fairy in a storybook. How does he comport himself in theface of all the changes and modifications that have taken place andthat still impend? We can hardly imagine a lord taking his nobilityseriously; it is some hint of the conditional frame of Lord Warburton'smind that makes him imaginable and delightful to us.
It is not my purpose he...re to review any of Mr. James's books; I likebetter to speak of his people than of the conduct of his novels, and Iwish to recognize the fineness with which he has touched-in the prettyprimness of Osmond's daughter and the mild devotedness of Mr. Rosier. A masterly hand is as often manifest in the treatment of suchsubordinate figures as in that of the principal persons, and Mr. Jamesdoes them unerringly. This is felt in the more important character ofValentin Belgarde, a fascinating character in spite of itsdefects, --perhaps on account of them--and a sort of French LordWarburton, but wittier, and not so good.
