What reading level is People And Things An Attempt to Connect Art And Humanity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was natural for the German military to destroy Rheims and Louvain and Amiens, as it was for the London School Board to propose the demolition of old and beautiful houses to make Board Schools as it is for our age to treat art as a luxurious divan to be leaped from when Sergeant Action blows his whistle. The health and sanity of the works of the past impeach and warn the present (because they are an alternative) that Moloch's temple, built of the bones of human love and happiness, shall one d...ay be overthrown.
I have one more parallel to make. Morris and Cobbett were what the fashion of a few years back would have called "vitalists. " Vitalism can cover a multitude of sins, but the term may, perhaps, be applied, if it means that our heroes devoted them- selves to parting the decoration from the expres- sion of life. Morris especially loved art, because he saw in it the expression of simple and valid human needs. Everything beyond and outside those needs was a decorative superfluity. Cobbett, too, sought all his life how to translate humanity into the quick and active element of life.
