What reading level is Landor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Welcome, then, welcome, my last hour ! After enjoying for so great a number of years, in my public and private life, what I believe has never been the lot of any other, I now extend my hand to the urn, and take with- out reluctance or hesitation what is the lot of all." The technical scholar, it is true, will find in Pericles and Aspasia improbabilities and anachronisms enough; for Landor wrote as usual out of his head, and without re- newing his acquaintance with authorities for his special pu...rpose ; and his knowledge, astonishing from any other point of view, was from that of technical scholarship in- complete. He did not trouble himself about considera- tions of this kind, observing rightly enough that Dialogue was not History, and that in a work of imagination some liberties might legitimately be taken with fact Only, then, he should have been careful not to quit that sphere of thought and feeling where imagination is lawfully par- amount ; not to lay aside, as he too often does, the tone of the literary artist for that of the critical and historical inquirer.
