What reading level is Jean Jacques Rousseau book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the well-warranted and the impar- tial criticism has no more silenced the [563 other sort than the song of the nightin- gale has discouraged the blackbirds. It is never superfluous, therefore, to point out misunderstandings that are born again every day. Let us be permitted to as- sume this humble role. A general criticism of Rousseau may be ranged under four heads: his talent, his character, his life and his ideas. This last point being that which ought es- pecially to occupy us, we shall ...touch on the other three only in passing and in or- der to note a few of those superficial views that are all too easily adopted by many persons. The talent of the author of Emile is, we have said, uncontested. That is too much to assert. Irresponsible criticism has found means of carping at it. "His style, " it says, "is wanting in naivete, calm, [57] easy grace, Attic irony; Rousseau is not Amyot, Bossuet, Sevigne, nor Voltaire. " No doubt, but he is Rousseau. "He has many imperfections ; he abuses the exclamation, the apostrophe, the pro- sopopaeia; he indulges too much in hy- perbole, paradox, and does not shrink from sophistry.
