What reading level is Robert Burns : His Life, Genius, Achievement book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Morals, experiences, needs, love and liquor, the rejoicing vigour and unrest of youth, the placid content of age — there is scarce anything he can endure which is not brilliantly, and (above all) sincerely and veraciously, set forth in them. That old-world Scotland, whose last and greatest expression was Burns, either has passed or is fast passing away.
In language, manners, morals, ideals, religion, sub- stance, capacity, the theory and practice of life — in all these the country of Burns has ...changed : in some, has changed ' beyond report, thought, or belief.' But that much of her which was known to her poet is with us still, and is with us in these songs. For man and woman change not, but endure for ever : so that what was truly said a thousand years ago comes home as truth to-day, and will go home as truth when to-day is a thousand years behind. To the making of these things there went the great and generous humanity of Burns, with the humanity, less great but still generous and sincere, of those unknowns, whose namelessness was ever a regret to 334 ROBERT BURNS him.
