What reading level is Meredith Revisited, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is at once a political manifesto, an earnest appeal for peace, a literary travesty, a violent attack upon those who disagreed with Aristophanes' views on politics and the drama, and a vivid picture of contemporary democracy that renowned democracy of Athens which was the perfect flower of popular government, compared with which most modern democratic systems appear incomplete and illogical. It is impossible to under- stand the play without some knowledge of its historical background. In 425 ...B. C. , when the play was first performed, Athens was in the throes of the Peloponnesian War, the most celebrated of those internecine wars in which the Greek devoted his wonderful energy to the futile task of slaying brother Greeks, with calamitous results to his civilisa- tion and political freedom. Athens, the brilliant centre of all literature and art, the scene of the most glorious triumphs of the human mind, and the great naval power of Greece, confronted Sparta, the oligarchic military State, whose members gave their whole lives to the profession of war and despised the arts of peace.
