What reading level is Pax Britannica book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some things they knew that we know not; Some things we know by them unknown; But the axles of their wheels were hot With the same frenzies as our own.
Francis Burdett Money-Coutts 25 ‘TH’AT cloud in the west!’ Here and there across the radiant horizons of the British Empire several such clouds were loosely forming, and gave to a few imaginative watchers a sensation of storms to come. It was as though that blaze of pride were too brilliant to last, like a preternaturally glittering summer d...ay. Kipling caught this mood of presentiment in Recessional. Elgar would presently orchestrate it. Fisher felt it, as he watched the Germans building their battle fleets, and realized that all the glory of Empire could be shattered in one exchange of gunfire in the North Sea. Even the public showed a morbid interest in fantasies of foreign invasions and British defeats, calculated to chill the most Jingo spine: one horridly popular French publication, Plus d’Angleterre, suggested that when their nemesis came at last the British would have to pay an indemnity of £560 million, and hand over Dover, the entire Royal Navy, most of the Empire and the Elgin Marbles to the French.
