What reading level is Milton book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now let us compare with the exact details of Dante the dim intimations of Milton. We will cite a few ex- amples. The English poet has never thought of taking the measure of Satan.
He gives us merely a vague idea of vast bulk. In one passage the fiend lies stretched out huge in length, float- ing many a rood, equal in size to the earth-born enemies of Jove, or to the sea-monster which the mariner mis- takes for an island. When he ad- dresses himself to battle against the guardian angels, he stan...ds like Tener- ifFe or Atlas : his stature reaches the sky. Contrast with these descriptions 47 #1 Milton the lines in which Dante has described the gigantic spectre of Nimrod. " His face seemed to me as long and as broad as the ball of St. Peter's at Rome ; and his other limbs were in proportion ; so that the bank, which concealed him from the waist downwards, neverthe- less showed so much of him, that three tall Germans would in vain have at- tempted to reach to his hair." We are sensible that we do no justice to the admirable style of the Florentine poet.
