What reading level is Lectures On Dramatic Literature ; Or, the Employment of the Passions in Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, in the style of the modern drama, is the interpreta- tion of the phrase : "I care nothing about your gifts." FATHBRS IN COMSDY. 175 Which of these two expressions is the most corrupting?
Which is the one that brings most into dispute the mystery of the paternal authority? The serious of the drama is so much the more dangerous, as it corrupts the understanding, by sophistry, and the heart by emotion. Comedy jokes, the dranna reasons ; comedy touches casually the delicate idea of the limits... of paternal power, and the rights, always specious, of love. The drama stops with the design : it loves to develope this point, which touches all the passions, for all love revolt. Let us not say, then, with J. J. Rousseau, that the comedy of Moliere is a school of depravity. It is bad comedy and the drama which deform the heart, because they pretend to preach and to instruct ; because they ener- vate the soul by sentimentality, and corrupt the mind by sophistry. Good comedy amuses at the expense of the vices which it places in opposition to each other ; but it does not reoommend or extol any of them.
