What reading level is Lenore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mrs. Cameron, in her preface, seems to suppose that her rendering is a strictly faithful one, but I can only say that she was mistaken : she does not stick close to the terms of her original, and she wholly discards its metre. In 1855 there was a translation by John Oxenford, a good German scholar : it is however rather an adaptation than a translation, being done to serve as the words for a cantata by G. A. Macfarren pro- duced at a Birmingham Festival. There are yet other versions of Lenore, ...known to me little or not at all : the reader may perhaps opine that I have already mentioned quite enough.
Of all the translations with which I am acquainted, the best, I venture to think, is the one which Dante Rossetti wrote at the age of sixteen. I say it without hesitation, Iprefaton? mote 13 but with a full consciousness that the critical opinion ex- pressed by a brother carries very little weight. Some of the other renderings — as Taylor's, Scott's, and Stanley's — are put out of count by arbitrary alterations : the remaining ones are less animated, less poetical, and mostly less faithful, than Rossetti's.
