What reading level is Romantic Professions And Other Papers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But she would not be the last daughter who has been sacrificed to a mother's flirtation.
77 ROMANCE AND YOUTH If Helen had a grown-up daughter when her face was the fate of nations, Penelope had a grown-up son when the stress of rivalry for her hand was at its keenest. The suitors very likely had set their hearts at least as much upon the estate as on the person of this paragon of prehistoric grass- widowhood. That is what cynicism would suggest, and there was not a little in the conduct of the... suitors to give colour to the suggestion. Yet Homer hardly gives us to understand that Penelope was past the prime of her beauty. Nor did scandal spare even her name. The good Homer gave no coun- tenance to it, or it would have put a very distressing complexion on the pretty story of the woven and unwoven web. One ver- sion of the birth of Pan, remember, was that he was born of Penelope in her lord's absence, and that no single suitor could claim the whole credit of the paternity. Pan, you know, had horns and hoofs.
