What reading level is Studies in American Letters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" After sitting in my chamber many days, reading the poets, I have been out early on a foggy morn- ing and heard the cry of an owl in the neighboring wood as from a nature behind the common, unexplored by sci- ence or by literature. None of the feathered race has yet realized my youthful conceptions of the woodland dei^ths. I had seen the red election birds brought from their re- cesses on my comrade's string, and fancied that their plumage would assume stranger and more dazzling colors, like t...he tints of evening, in proportion as I advanced farther into the darkness and solitude of the forest. Still less have I seen such strong and wild tints on any poet's string. " It was on the mystical side that Thoreau apprehended xhoreau a transcendentalism. Mysticism has been defined as the ™>'s^i*^- soul's recognition of its identity with nature. This thought lies plainly in Schelling's philosophy, and he illustrated it by his famous figure of the magnet. Mind and nature are one ; they are the positive and negative poles of the magnet.
