What reading level is Ruskin the Prophet And Other Centenary Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He thought rightness of motive was everything ; the artist should work " for the glory of God. " Perhaps, after all, one cannot better that description of the true artist's spirit of work ; yet it he begins to be conscious of a motive, even the highest, beyond his work, he is in danger of losing all.
Into a great work the master pours his whole being. We recognize the greatness as we recognize it in a human personality ; it is by a presence, and by the mood that presence evokes in us, rather th...an by anything we can explain or set down in words. It is not sensuous only, or emotional, or intellectual, or spiritual ; yet the impression by which we are moved, exhilarated, liberated, contains something of all these factors ; and if any of them is missing in some degree we miss it too. The plain truth is that when we begin to try to follow in language the true effect of a great work of art on ourselves, language fails us at the outset. Who knows how a work of art is born ? Perhaps the masterpiece uses the artist, as Samuel Butler said the egg uses the hen, as a means of getting into the world.
