What reading level is On Books And Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are told she had ' the gift of tears.' It may be. Certainly she roused in others pity and passion.
But when one recognises this, one may remember, too, how the methods acceptable to one age may be ineffective in another. Mrs. Siddons's epoch was the epoch of the acceptability of Claude's and David's art. It was the age of firm contour in draughtsmanship, of composition in painting, of de- portment in manners. In manhood, the age admired as ideal what Mr. Turveydrop, some time after- wards, o...nly unwittingly burlesqued. The fire, and genius, and spontaneity of Rachel would speak to us to-day. Rachel gave to the most artificial of tragedy — to the tragedy which was ' so Greek ' to its admirers, so full of Louis xiv. to ourselves — that truth which Desclde, after her, bestowed upon an incident in the Avenue du Roi de Rome — upon a passion of this morning. Should we be equally sensible to the favourite effects of Mrs. Siddons?
Should we — who have passed not only through Romanticism, but into Naturalism, since her day — be impressed, genuinely or profoundly, by her Lady Macbeth, her Hermione ?
