What reading level is Old Faces in New Masks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every- thing which wealth and the wit of man could devise to give zest to this pageantry display was employed. The thing being manifestly overdone, it gave rise to sarcasm.
An artistic satirist of the day caricatured the whole pro- cession, under the figures of the " Dances of Death," and with the most irresistible and whimsical effect. "With the figure of Death he rang the changes on all the most striking parts of the public rejoicings, and thus produced one of the most powerfiil and happy sat...irical attacks of his age. The artist's name is said to have been Carini.
We likewise find that in France a similar device was used to ridicule Louis XIV., his court, and government. Death is here made, in the most whimsical attitudes, the instrument of throwing contempt and de- rision on the ostentatious luxury and general profligaoy which characterized this section of French history.
There are likewise some editions of the " Dances" pub- lished in France, of a general character, embracing, like the one we have just noticed in detail, all the most pro- minent phases of the life of man, and the ordinary inci- dents and offices to which social and political institutions, in aU countries, give rise.
