What reading level is Ion a Tragedy in Five Acts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Recourse has therefore been had, not only to the old Grecian notion of Destiny, apart from all moral agencies, and to a prophecy indicating its purport in reference to the individuals involved in its chain, but to the idea of fascination, as an engine by which Fate may work its pur- poses on the innocent mind, and force it into terrible action, most uncongenial to itself, but necessary to the issue. Either perhaps of these aids might have been permitted, if used in accordance with the entire sp...irit of the piece ; but the employ- ment of both could not be justified in a drama intended for visual presentation, in which a certain verisimilitude is essential to the faith of the spectator. Whether any groups, surrounded with the associations of the Greek mythology, and subjected to the capricious laws of Greek superstition, could be endowed by PllEFACK. VII genius itself with such present life as to awaken the sympathies of an English audience, may well be doubted ; but it cannot be questioned that except by sustaining a steru unity of pur- pose, and breathing an atmosphere of Grecian sentiment over the whole, so as to render the picture national and coherent in all its trails, the effect must be unsatisfactory and unreal.
