What reading level is Selected Literary Essays From James Russell Lowell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There must be also the great Mantuan's art ; his power, not only of being strong in parts, but of making those parts coherent in an harmonious whole, and tributary to it. Gray, if we may believe the commenta- tors, has not an idea, scarcely an epithet, that he can call his own ; and yet he is, in the best sense, one of the classics of English literature. He had exquisite felicity of choice ; his dictionary had no vulgar word in it, no harsh one, but all culled from the luckiest moods of poets, ...and with a faint but delicious aroma of association ; he had a perfect sense of sound, and one idea without which all the poetic outfit (si absit pru- dentid) is of little avail, — that of combination and arrangement, in short, of art. The poets from whom he helped himself have no more claim to any of his poems as wholes than the various beauties of Greece (if the old story were true) to the Venus of the artist.
Imagination, as we have said, has more vir- tue to keep a book alive than any other single faculty.
