What reading level is Reynolds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reynolds' attempts at ideal and historical com- positions are failures, — at the best, pale reflections; sometimes, it must be confessed, mere caricatures. When he touches the tragical and supernatural he is at his worst. Compare the grotesque goblins, the paltrv pantomime terrors of his ** Macbeth and the Witches, " or the vapid symbolical figures that debase his superb portrait ot Mrs. Sid- dons, with the terrific forms that rose at the beck of Michelangelo, and his feebleness becomes apparen...t. But sublime as Michelangelo was, and, in his province and degree, incomparably great, there are few of us, I think, who do not turn with heartfelt if shamefaced pleasure from his chilling intellectual sublimity to the gentler graces, the •sweet humanity, and familiar charm of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
COSMOMONKHOUSE "THEACADE M Y " : VOL. 25 NO particular advantage is gained by attempting the impossible and invidious task of measuring the exact height of Sir Joshua as compared with the greatest of the old masters; but it is pleasant and safe to assert that he belonged to that small and choice group of ardsts of all time who have done something to enlarge the scope of their particular branch of art — who are not only masters, but initiators.
