What reading level is Inquiries And Opinions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Style is the great antiseptic, no doubt; but style cannot bestowlife on the still-born.
Not only do such critics as the anonymous writer from whom quotation hasbeen made, persist in thinking of the literary merit of the drama as"exquisite prose" and "splendid verse, "--in other words as an addedgrace, applied externally, --but they also seem to believe that all playspossessing what they would regard as "literary merit" stand in a classapart. They are looking for a literary drama which shall be ...differentfrom the popular drama. Apparently they expect to be able to recognize aliterary play at first sight--and probably by its excess of appliedornament. And this attitude is quite as absurd as the other. In no oneof the greater periods of the poetic drama have the plays which we nowrevere as masterpieces differed in form from the mass of the other playsof that epoch. They were better, no doubt, excelling in power, inelevation, in insight, in skill. But they bore a striking resemblance instructure and in intent to the host of contemporary plays which we nowperceive to be hopelessly inferior to them.
