What reading level is Macaulay's Essays On Addison And Johnson; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Paris he had eagerly sought an intro- duction to Boileau; but he seems not to have been at all aware that at Florence he was in the vicinity of a poet with whom Boileau could not sustain a com- parison, of the greatest lyric poet of modern times, Vincenzio Filicaja. This is the more remarkable, because Filicaja was the favorite poet of the accom- plished Somers, under whose protection Addison trav- elled, and to whom the account of the Travels is dedi- cated. The truth is, that Addison knew ...little, and cared less, about the literature of modern Italy. His favorite models were Latin. His favorite critics were French. Half the Tuscan poetry that he had read seemed to him monstrous, and the other half tawdry.
His Travels were followed by the lively opera of Rosamond. This piece was ill set to music, and there- fore failed on the stage, but it completely succeeded in print, and is indeed excellent in its kind. The smooth- ness with which the verses glide, and the elasticity with which they bound, is, to our ears at least, very pleasing.
