What reading level is Readings in English Prose of the Eighteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are perhaps some inci- dents that might be spared, as in other poets there is much talk that only fills up time upon the stage; but the general system makes gradual advances, and the end of the play is the end of expectation.
To the unities of time and place he has shown no regard ; and perhaps a nearer view of the principles on which they stand will diminish their value, and withdraw from them the venera- PREFACE TO SHAKESPEARE 381 tion which, from the time of Corneille, they have very g...enerally received, by discovering that they have given more trouble to the poet than pleasure to the auditor.
The necessity of observing the unities of time and place arises from the supposed necessity of making the drama credible. The critics hold it impossible that an action of months or years can be possibly behaved to pass in three hours; or that the spectator can suppose himself to sit in the theatre while ambassadors go and return between distant kings, while armies are levied and towns besieged, while an exile wanders and returns, or till he whom they saw courting his mistress shall lament the untimely fall of his son.
