What reading level is John Ruskin His Homes And Haunts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He must question them, stone by stone. Patiently he set himself to read the riddle of the Ducal Palace and of St. Mark's, and at last he could say that what he had found was truth. St. Mark's he interpreted as a piece of jewel- work on the grand scale, in the sense of art: in the light of his inevitable ethics, "No city had such a Bible. " It is a mighty humanity, perfect and proud, hiding no weakness beneath the mantle, gaining no greatness from the diadem. All that he said of it in the earlie...r volumes he would have set aside in later days for the more condensed study, " St. Mark's Rest, " but those who care most for his writings have not agreed with this judgment. Yet it is well not to neglect " St. Mark's Rest, " were it only for the hints of compensation that came to Ruskin amid a ruined and desolated Venice, as she seemed to him then. There in later days he fell in love with Carpaccio's St. Ursula, worshipping her, someone has finely said, as a sincere Athenian might have worshipped the Queen of the Air.
