What reading level is Studies in Foreign Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Else there were no truth in the spiritual revelation that came later to Golaud when he exclaimed remorse- fully, 'J'ai tue sans raison . . . . Ils s'etaient embrasses comme des petits enfants. ' When M. Lugne Poe and the Theatre de I'tEuvre played VIntruse and Pelleas et Meli- saride with dim lights, and lengthy silences, and slow, rhythmical movements, and — in the case of Pelleas — with a gauze veil stretched across the stage between the actors and the audience, certain of the efi^ects may ha...ve been crude and a little incongruous, but the general impression i68 MAURICE MAETERLINCK conveyed was one of fascinating mystery and spiritual penetration. The audience may have smiled here and there at the artless simplicity of the technique and the total absence of stage- craft, but at least the beautiful cadence of the lines was preserved, the rhythmical progression of the action was felt, and the spoken word was pregnant with almost portentous meaning. And so, imperfect as the presentment may have been, I have no hesitation in believing that it was closer to the essential mind of the master than the elaborately-staged representation at the Prince of Wales' Theatre.
