What reading level is Historical And Critical Essays 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But one man could not redeem a na- tional dishonor. It was such, and such it was felt to be. Men, therefore, of elevated natures, and men of gentle pacific natures, equally revolted from a trade of lies, as regarded the audience, and of strife, as regard- ed the competitors. There remained the one other pursuit of scenical poetry ; and it hardly needs to be said, what crowding* there was amongst all the ener- getic minds of Athens into one or other of these pursuits — the one for the unworldly ...and idealizing, the other for the coarsely ambitious. These, therefore, became the two quasi professions of Athens ; and at the same time, in a sense more exclusive than can now be true of our professions, became the sole means of publica- tion for truth of any class, and a publication by many degrees more certain, more extensive, and more imme- diate, than ours by the press.
The Athenian theatre published an edition of thirty thousand copies in one day, enabling, in effect, every male citizen capable of attending, from the age of twenty to sixty, together with many thousands of domiciled aliens, to read the drama, with the fullest understanding of its sense and poetic force that could be effected by natural powers "of voice and action, combined with all possible auxiliaries of art, of music, of pantomimic dancing ; and the whole carried home to the heart by visible and audible sympathy in excess.
