What reading level is Lectures On the English Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He dwelt on the absurd and ludicrous for the pleasure theygave him, not for the pain. He lived upon laughter, and died laughing. He indulged his vein, and took his full swing of folly. He did not baulkhis fancy or his readers. His wit was to him "as riches fineless"; hesaw no end of his wealth in that way, and set no limits to hisextravagance: he was communicative, prodigal, boundless, andinexhaustible. His were the Saturnalia of wit, the riches and theroyalty, the health and long life. He is... intoxicated with gaiety, madwith folly. His animal spirits drown him in a flood of mirth: his bloodcourses up and down his veins like wine. His thirst of enjoyment is asgreat as his thirst of drink: his appetite for good things of all sortsis unsatisfied, and there is a never-ending supply. _Discourse is dry_;so they moisten their words in their cups, and relish their dry jestswith plenty of Botargos and dried neats' tongues. It is like Camacho'swedding in Don Quixote, where Sancho ladled out whole pullets and fat geesefrom the soup-kettles at a pull.
