What reading level is Hours in a Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Probably they were intrinsically superior to the fine ladies andgentlemen who laughed at them. But a mind acclimatised to the atmospherewhich they breathed inevitably lost its nervous tone. There was truemasculine vigour underlying Cowper's jeremiads; but it was natural thatmany people should only see in him an amiable valetudinarian, notqualified for a censorship of statesmen and men of the world. The manwho fights his way through London streets can't stop to lament overevery splash and puddle... which might shock poor Cowper's nervoussensibility.
The last poem of the series, however, 'Retirement, ' showed that Cowperhad a more characteristic and solacing message to mankind than a mererehearsal of the threadbare denunciations of luxury. The 'Task' revealedhis genuine power. There appeared those admirable delineations ofcountry scenery and country thoughts which Sainte-Beuve detaches solovingly from the mass of serious speculation in which they areembedded. What he, as a purely literary critic, passed over ascomparatively uninteresting, gives the exposition of Cowper'sintellectual position.
