What reading level is Poets in the Pulpit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then the word '* lyrical" limits us. '* Lyric*' means a short song, such as might be thrown off by a 264 Poets in the Pulpit. minstrel striking his lyre to some brief but passion- ate mood of thought and feeling: and the number of such short songs in the English language is limited. And then we are guided again by a certain standard of perfection. In the *' Golden Treasury*' only the most choice and beautiful specimens of each kind find a place. These requirements — that the poems should be lyr...ical, that they should be perfect, and that they should possess either directly or in- directly an edifying tendency — greatly restrict our field of choice. There is another consideration which applies to the present exposition, viz., that a great deal of the deeper spiritual poetry of the nineteenth century, in the " Golden Treasury," will not come under our notice at all in this lec- ture, because it is discussed in the other lectures ; as, for instance, the moral and religious aspects of Tennyson, Longfellow, Keble, and Wordsworth ; and remember, that in leaving out Wordsworth's name from the Golden Treasury, we leave out that of the most voluminous spiritual singer of the nineteenth century.
