What reading level is The Career of Dion Boucicault book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" This anecdote, which, by the way, has become a part of stage history, is not intended to prove the play of "Rip Van Winkle" a great and glorious masterpiece. On the contrary, it is the veriest pot- boiler, and without Joseph Jefferson would not have long endured. But without Boucicault's clever turn of the wrist, the subtlest of actors could never have made the role of Rip attractive.
As Rip Van Winkle, Joseph Jefferson burst into world-wide fame and his name became a household word among Eng
...lish-speaking people.
The which is writ in dramatic history !
CHAPTER XII Boiicicaulfs industry and fecundity for nine years Melodramas galore Charles Dickens at rehearsals of-' The Lofig Strike" Jfenry Irving's first hit.
THE barest mention must now suffice of Boucicault's works during the next nine years. Actors on both sides of the Atlantic profited by these plays; reputations and fortunes were made by the array of characters they furnished to the stage. But the field here grows too wide to be dealt with in detail.
