What reading level is R L Stevenson a Critical Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not that Catriona is unreadable ; it is very read- able indeed. In fact that is the trouble about the book, that it has every sort of meretricious attraction, with so little in it that will honestly bear examination. It is palpable fake ; an obvious attempt to recapture the first fine carelessness of Kidnapped. For Kidnapped is a good book. It has vitality in it, and it has Alan Breck, who, for all that his vanity has been flattered by so many adorers, remains on the whole a fine picture ...of a vain, brave Scot. Also good is the picture of David's uncle, which is very dryly humorous, very shrewd, and excep- tionally horrible. These two pieces of charac- terisation, as well as some minor ones, are enough to give bones to a book that is both readable and estimable. It would be enough, I think, to justify the suggestion that Kid- napped is the best Scottish historical romance since Scott, and indeed one of the best modern 168 NOVELS AND ROMANCES historical romances written in what we may for the moment call the English language.
