What reading level is Life of Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shakespeare may be speaking dramatically through Ulysses in Troilus and Cressida ; but at least he must have fully appreciated the argument for order, and understood by order that the cultivated and intelligent should rule and the common herd have as little ii SELF-REVELATION direct voice in State affairs as Elizabeth and James could have desired. When we have got so far, we have already, as it seems to me, admitted certain attributes, which are as much per- sonal as literary. If you admit that... Shakespeare was a humourist, intensely sensitive to natural beauty, a scorner of the pedantry, whether of scholars or theologians, en- dowed with an amazingly wide and tolerant view of human nature, radically opposed to Puritanism or any kind of fanaticism, and capable of hearty sympathy with the popular instincts and yet with a strong persuasion of the depth of popular folly, you inevitably affirm at least some negative propositions about the man himself. You can say with confidence what are the characteristics which were thoroughly antipathetic to him, even though it may be difficult to describe accurately the characteristics which he positively embodied.
