What reading level is Oxford Lectures On Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The only scene that can vie with them, that of the revel on Pompey's ship, though full of menace, is in great part humorous. Enobarbus, in this part of the play, is always humorous. Even later, when the tragic tone is deepening, the whipping of Thyreus, in spite of Antony's rage, moves mirth. A play of which all this can truly be said may well be as masterly as Othello or Macbeth, and more delightful ; but, in the greater part of its course, it cannot possibly excite the same emotions. It makes... no attempt to do so ; and to regard it as though it made this attempt is to miss its specific character and the intention of its author.
That character depends only in part on Shake- speare's fidelity to his historical authority, a fidelity which, I may remark, is often greatly exaggerated.
For Shakespeare did not merely present the story of ten years as though it occupied perhaps one fifth of that time, nor did he merely invent freely, but in critical places he effected startling changes in the order and combination of events.
