What reading level is Modernism And Romance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have tried to show how science, claiming to exhaust the whole field of human knowledge, has starved some of the instincts and faculties of men ; how the modern self-consciousness has brought us face to face with our limits and shortcomings, exposing to us the folly of human wisdom. Then suddenly we have stumbled upon a literature which gives us the old thrill of romance without seeking to wean us from the modern habit of mind. Just as many of us were lamenting that a glory has passed from the... earth, a few men have appeared on the scene to make us give thanks For those obstinate questionings Of sense and outward things.
Fallings from us, vanishings ; Blank misgivings of a creature Moving about in worlds not realized.
High instincts, before which our mortal nature Did tremble like a guilty thing surprized.
The Borderlandcrs 237 Just now we were complaining that there is too much consciousness in the modern man, a too dis- illusioning knowledge of the "Fountains, Meadows, Hills, and Groves." Now we begin to suspect that we have not enough ; that we have turned it all too much in one direction till we are distorted and cramped, and blinded because of the unaccustomed light Stevenson instinctively, because of his genius, found a new channel for literature through the shoals of a scientific age.
