What reading level is Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One investigator will hold, with Steinthal and Posnett, that literature was communal in the beginning, expressing the common feeling of a sept. Another, like Scherer, will say that literature was at first absolutely individual self- expression. One theorist sees somewhere in the remote past "a dancing, singing, improvising multitude." An- other skeptically asks whether there can be such a thing as simultaneous, spontaneous composition. How did poetry begin? Songs were first invented, says one, ...to lighten labour. No, says another, they were merely mnemonic de- vices to aid the memory. Not at all, remarks a third ; songs were a concomitant of the primitive dance, a vocal expres- sion of the "play instinct," seeking naturally after rhythmic movement. So the Arabs tell us that KhahTs rhythms came to him from hearing the cadenced hammering of the 16 workmen at the forge, and that the traditional hida, or song of the camel-driver, was inspired by the steady lurch- ing motion of the camel, whose master unconsciously imi- tated its sway and swing in the pulsations of a definite metre.
