What reading level is Lives of the Novelists: a History of Fiction in 294 Lives book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nicholas Monsarrat 1910–1979 Who remembers the old fights? Who wants to? No novelist of his time conveyed more articulately than Nicholas Monsarrat the tepid rage of Britain in the post-war period when the country won a war, mislaid a great Empire, lost its national nerve, but preserved a saving decency. There is an illustrative moment in The Cruel Sea, when the captain hero (as sterling a type as ever appeared on a Players’ cigarette packet) returns to port from the deadly Western Approaches, ...leaving in his wake corpses still bobbing on the waves, to find civilian dock-workers on strike for more wages: ‘These were … the people whom sailors fought and died for; at close quarters, they hardly seemed to deserve it.’ None the less, Captain Ericson returns to battle.
Monsarrat was the son of an eminent surgeon in Liverpool, the second of three boys, two of whom came to tragically early deaths. At the family’s country home in Anglesey, he developed an early love of yachting. He was educated at Winchester, where he was bullied and progressed to Trinity College, Cambridge, to complete his gentleman’s education with a third in Law.
