What reading level is Studies in Literature And History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why have these verses made such an effect that they are famihar to all of us, and fresh as when they were first read ? Is it not because the writer 174 HEROIC POETRY had one clear flash of imaginative Hght, which showed him the reahty of the scene, so that the description speaks for itself, without literary epithets, creating, as the French say, the true image. He struck the right note of soldierly emotion, brief, stern, and compressed, when there is no time for vain lamen- tation — as when in ...the Iliad Ulysses says to Achilles, who is inconsolable for the death of his friend, that a soldier must bury his comrade with a pitiless heart, and that in war a day's mourning is all that can be spared for slain men.^ It may be allowable to suggest, therefore, among the reasons for the prevailing dearth and scarcity of first- class heroic poetry, notwithstanding the universal demand for it, the impossibility of thus handling war on a great scale, and also the serious difficulty of giving this poetic form to contemporary events, which are not easily grouped in artistic perspective because they are so accurately described elsewhere.
