What reading level is Ruskin And the Religion of Beauty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Nature teaches us repose of line, she teaches us repose of light and shade; and not the chiaroscuro of Salvator Rosa, of Rembrandt, or of Ribera. She does not allow herself great divi- sions of light and shade, she repudiates illuminated dungeons, the play of dark lanterns and pistol shots in caverns, she abhors contrasts, or tolerates them only well disguised, only allowing " the opposition to tell upon the mind as a surprise but not as a shock. " Our interest in the work of art must be awa...kened in the same manner by the truth of colours and not by their contrasts, by the force of the limbs and not 206 HIS ^ESTHETIC AND SOCIAL THOUGHT by their efforts, by their forms and not by their deformities. The scene portrayed must attract us not by the strangeness of the situation, but by the reality of the characters. No matter that there is no action amongst the figures, if the outline is so pure and the life so intense that we are in love with this outline and this life for their own sake.
