What reading level is Horace And His Influence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" "Horace may be said to pervade the literature of theeighteenth century in three ways: as a teacher of political and socialmorality; as a master of the art of poetry; and as a sort of _elegantiaearbiter_. " Richardson, Sterne, Smollett, and Fielding, Gay, SamuelJohnson, Chesterfield, and Walpole, were all familiar with and fond ofHorace, and took him unto themselves. In the nineteenth century, Wordsworth has an intimate familiarity withVirgil, Catullus, and Horace, but loves Horace best; Coler...idge thinkshighly of his literary criticism; Byron, who never was greatly fond ofhim, frequently quotes him; Shelley reads him with pleasure; Browning's_The Ring and the Book_ contains many quotations from him; Thackeraymakes use of phrases from the _Odes_ "with an ease and facility whichnothing but close intimacy could produce"; Andrew Lang addresses to himthe most charming of his _Letters to Dead Authors_; and Austin Dobson isinspired by him in many of his exquisite poems in lighter vein. Thesenames, and those in the paragraphs preceding, are not all that might bementioned.
