What reading level is Poetry of Invocation : a Study of the Poems of William Collins And Their Tradition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

(11. 85-8) All the ingredients of the poet's theory of inspiration and hope for success in attaining it are here. A "consenting Heav'n" makes all things possible; heaven's agent, Liberty, enables the "blest Divorce" to take place; and finally, the Goddess honors Britain — and gives hope to the poet — by making the nation Her "last Abode" in Her long westward march .
The progress now nearly complete, Collins goes on in the second epode to recall the glory of Liberty's past favor in "our Isle," w...here "Thy Shrine in some religious Wood, / Soul-enforcing Goddess stood!" (11. 90-2). He sustains his emphasis on Her heavenly origin, obviously attempting still to obtain Her aid by praise in addition to recalling the past moral infusions. The Shrine was in a "religious Wood" where the Goddess could affect men's souls, and there they often met "thy Form celestial" (1. 94).
But at this point Collins' confidence wanes and the memory of past achievements calls to mind the failure of the present.
