What reading level is The Church And the Stage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This work is certainly the most famous, as it is probably the most powerful, of all the many diatribes which the controversy between the Church and the Stage has called into existence. The author was a sturdy and honest non-juror, — a man of great learning and ability, whose unbending devotion to principle during those turbulent times constantly brought him into trouble and disgrace. Unlike the Histrio-mastix, his book is still readable ; and any one who opens it may convince himself of its str...aightforward hard- hitting style, and of the well-timed blows which it dealt round unmercifully upon the leading " wits " of the day — the august Dryden himself included. " To compliment Vice," says the robust author, "is but one remove from worshipping the Devil;" and no one looking through the volume will be inclined to think that Collier erred in this respect. The chief com- plaint against him, indeed, is that he was too keen to detect impropriety — scenting profanity and unclean- ness in the most innocent expressions, and gravely reprobating the Stage for its abuse of clergymen and ( 40 ) great people.
