What reading level is Selections From Tibullus And Propertius book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Napoleon III tried in vain to attach to himself the intellect of France, and he fell : Augustus succeeded. And if we reflect how weary of the display of brute force, how polished, how receptive of ideas, how sensitive to artistic form, was the Rome of the Augustan age, we can without difficulty understand how irresistible was the force exerted upon the imagination of the time by a cause which was accepted as a fundamental article of faith by its noblest spirits, which was proclaimed as a gospel..., and ardently advocated on every ground personal, political, literary, reli- gious bythe whole power of a literary cluster of which Virgil, Horace, Livy, Ovid, Propertius, and Tibullus were, after all, only the brightest stars. All this advocacy was obtained silently, and mainly through the instrumentality of Maecenas. With Propertius, as with Horace, Maecenas used all his influence, under cover of a regard for his literary reputation, to induce him to turn his muse to higher themes, to urge her to soar a higher flight ; Propertius, like Horace, under cover of a refusal, adds a new point to the praises which he professes himself inadequate to render.
