What reading level is Little Essays in Literature And Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The homely truth is that, if a poet is a shabbily pic- turesque object, it is because he has a screw loose some- where, not because he is a poet. It can be granted to the advocatus diaboli that the nature of his work lays him open to the temptations of the imagination and the emotions, not to say the passions. But to im- ply that the poet has to go wrong, as if it were his line of business, is ridiculous. Here we meet with the fallacy of generalizations, a tendency of the human mind that has sl...ain its thousands, and, it may be sub- joined, very often with the jawbone of an ass. Neither poets nor any other class of men are all of a piece. Both Coleridge and Wordsworth were great poets and friends and neighbors up in the Lake Country of Eng- land. But the one never paid his bills, ran away from his family and drank laudanum, while the other was of character so austerely high that one is almost repelled from him and would fain hear that he turned Bohe- mian once in a blue moon, at least.
