What reading level is Jonathan Swift And the Stage of the World : book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A Rug was o'er his Shoulders thrown; A Rug; for Night-gown he had none. His Jordan stood in Manner fitting Between his Legs, to spew or spit in. His antient Pipe in Sable dy'd, And half unsmoakt, lay by his Side, Him thus accoutred Peter found. With Eyes in Smoak and Weeping drown'd: The Leavings of his last Night's Pot On Embers plac'd, to drink it hot. (10-28) At the outset. Swift has told us that the friends are "College Sophs," and by saying that they are "Both special Wits, and Lovers both...," he has given us the Impression that their interest in love is more a matter of conforming to a fashionable pattern than a matter of genuine feeling. The impression is confirmed when we learn that they habitually talked about "Love and Books in Rapture sweet" — and the juxtaposition of "Love" and "Books" is as suggestive as the earlier juxtaposition of "Wits" and "Lovers". We have been thoroughly prepared to see either student enjoying the pose of the lovelorn swain, learned from his reading and expected of him as a "Wit".
