What reading level is The Americans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But yet a real political centre she will never become; new and great political impulses do not withstand her commercial atmosphere. New York is the chief clearing- house for politics and industry; purely political ideas it trans- forms into commercial.
This is still more true of strictly intellectual movements. One must not be misled by the fact that there is no other city in the land where so many authors reside, where so many books and magazines are published, or so many works of art of all k...inds are sold; or yet where so many apostles of reform lift up their voices. That the millions of inhabitants in New York con- stitute the greatest theatre for moral and social reforms, does not prove that the true springs of moral energy lie there. And the flourishing state of her literary and artistic activities proceeds, once more, from her economic greatness rather than from any real productive energy or intellectual fruitfulness. The com- mercial side of the intellectual life of America has very naturally centred itself in New York and there organized; but this out- ward connection between intellect and the metropolis of trade has very little to do with real intellectual initiative.
