What reading level is The Advance of the English Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thackeray's mind was more critical than that of Dickens : he was a natural-born critic, paro- dist, burlesquer, commentator. He walked the garden of this world and his novels — except £"5- mond — are gigantic commentaries on what he 112 THE ADVANCE OF saw. Never was a writer less of a cynic and satirist than Thackeray; no doubt, like many people, he thought he was very severe ; but as a matter of fact, he was a sentimentalist and a preacher, who loved humanity, saw its follies with the sharp si...ght of the humourist, and wished all the time that he could say something to make his readers profit by his personally con- ducted tours.
He was a chivalrous, magnanimous, tender- hearted, essentially noble character ; no English novelist has ever better deserved the grand old name of gentleman. He confessed his sins against art like a man. "Perhaps of all the novel-spinners now extant, the present speaker is the most addicted to preaching. Does he not stop perpetually in his story and begin to preach to you!" He really missed the point of the ob- jection to this practice.
