What reading level is Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With this conception of "peerless Poesie"in our minds, we turn to Aristotle's _Poetics_, and it gives us asensible shock to read on the first page, that "Epic Poetry and Tragedy, Comedy also and dithyrambic Poetry, and the greater part of the music ofthe flute and of the lyre are all, generally speaking, modes ofimitation" (_πα̂σαι τυγχάνουσιν οὖσαι μιμήσεις τὸ σύνολον_). "What?" wesay--"Nothing better than _that_?"--for "imitation" has a bad name amongmen and is apt to suggest the ape. But, fi...rst bearing in mind that thereare imitations and imitations (the _Imitatio Christi_ among them), letus go on to see what it is that in Aristotle's opinion Poetry imitatesor copies. It is "the Universal" (_τό καθόλου_): and as soon as werealise this we know ourselves to be on the same track as Aristotle, after all. "Imitation, " as he uses it, is not an apish or a slavishimitation; it is no mere transcribing or copying of phenomena as theypass (he even allows that the poet may "imitate" men as "better thanthey are"): it is an expressing, in fiction and harmonious speech, intelligible to his fellow-men, of what truth, order, harmony, and "law"the poet's mind has apprehended in the outer Universe.
