What reading level is James Russell Lowell, His Life And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The three memorial poems written in 1875 and 1876 bore it, too, if a little less manifestly. During the decade of his diplomatic life, Lowell's poetry was occasional, the by-product of a man of elegant scholarship and poetic gifts of imagination and humor, busily employed in large affairs. In the last five years of his life, when he was again va- cant to the Muses, there was, in such poems as " Endymion, " a curious reversion to his earlier LOWELL'S POETRY 249 mystical manner. But the character...istic pieces of this period were those like "Turner's Old Temeraire, " in which his poet's faith took issue as best it could with modern doubt. So far was there from being any decay of his talent that, leaving out of consideration a few casual pieces written for autograph albums and personal oc- casions, his work at threescore and ten will stand a careful scrutiny of its poetic tone and texture better than all but a very little that went before.
In considering Lowell's poetry in relation to his life, it is thus seen to be admirable and finely expressive ; if, however, we take up the volume of his Complete Poetical Works and try to view it steadily as it is in itself, the result is at first a little disconcerting.
