What reading level is Jonathan Swift. a Biographical And Critical Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its effect on Swift was to excite emotions which in ordinary men are seldom excited save by personal injuries. It fevered his blood, it broke his rest, it drove him at times half-frantic with furious indigna- tion, it sunk him at times in abysses of sullen de- spondency. He brooded over it in solitude ; it is his constant theme in his correspondence ; it was his constant topic in conversation. He spoke of it as eating his flesh and exhausting his spirits. For a while he cherished the hope that ...these evils, vast and complicated though they were, were not beyond remedy.
And this remedy lay, he thought, not in appealing to the justice and humanity of the English Government, for such an appeal he knew would be vain, but in appeal- ing to the Irish themselves, to the landed gentry, to the middlemen, to the manufacturers, to the clergy.
Throughout his object was twofold — the internal re- formation of the kingdom, and the establishment of the principle that Ireland ought either to be autono- mous or on a footing of exact political equality with the mother-country.
