What reading level is Reminiscences of a Dramatic Critic : With An Essay On the Art of Henry Irving book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I am inclined to believe that the records of the theatre furnish no parallel with the experience of the actor and the public in respect of this imper- sonation.

Out of this acceptance and this license a unique histrionic product was evolved.
