What reading level is Irish Plays And Playwrights book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But by its very differencefrom the English of all other artists in words save of a few of her owncountry and generation, and from such conversational English as I knowwell, this "Kiltartan English" brings me a foreign quality. I feel thatthe art of these tale-tellers is an art of another race than theEnglish, just as I feel that the art of the teller of Beowulf is an artof another race than the English. The literature in our ancestraltongue is not to me English until it sloughs off the Germanic...sentence-structure of Anglo-Saxon. Here lies, I think, the greatestdifficulty in translating Old English literature. And it will not besuccessfully translated, I think, without the use of the syntax of somedialect that preserves an archaic sentence-structure.
To me, then, it seems singularly fortunate for Lady Gregory to have her"Kiltartan English" to fall back upon to give that foreign flavor thatwe intuitively feel the need of in a translation. There may be a slightloss of dignity through its use, but there is a great gain in folkatmosphere.
