To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Foreigners make the illusion consist in the painting of character, in the truth of language, and in the exact portrayal of the manners and customs of the country represented. Illusion is but the semblance of reality and is made possible only by the emotion it excites in us. And if change of place and extension of time add to this emotion, the illusion is more perfect. Hence rules are but the itinerary of genius, to show the way others have passed, but are not themselves its vade-mecum. " Nothin...g in life ought to be stationary, and art is petrified when it no longer changes." ^ Likewise the French drama borrows its material from ^ II, pt. ii, chap. XV, p. 16.
86 Madame de Stael's " De l'Allemagne " classical sources instead of from its own religious and historical recollections. Of the great tragic poets, only that " prince of jesters," Voltaire, has drawn any subjects from modern life and has depicted emotions th'at appeal to humanity.^ In regard then to these varieties of dramatic art only national taste can decide.
