What reading level is The Confessions of a Browning Lover book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are wont to visit our scorn on the futility of mediaeval scholasticism, wasting itself in such bootless discussions as, "how many angels can dance on the point of a cambric needle?" The affirmations of recent physics concerning the ether, rapt descriptions of the dance of electrons within the orbit of an atom of hydrogen, and various similar matters familiar to the reader of recent scientific literature, are in point of fact quite as remote from the tangible realities of every day, and quite... as dependent on the supposed exigencies of a system of logical reasoning, as scholasticism itself.
Far be it from a mere layman so much as to express an opinion on these high matters. One must endeavor to exercise a modesty and self- restraint which, alas! is quite foreign to the magazine scientist — sometimes, indeed, to his masters. But the layman is quite within his rights to protest that if science requires these abstruse mythologies as the background of her practical discoveries, she has no right to object if the man of God claims equal right to make those assumptions which his experience and study have shown him are needful for the interpreta- tion of spiritual problems.
