What reading level is The Diversions of a Book-Lover book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Swinburne is silent, and Watson, Lewis Morris, and Stephen Phillips rank with the men who in the closing years of the 294 The Dioersions of a Book-looer eighteenth century immediately preceded the giants of the early nineteenth. When the King distributes coronation honors we find no poets receiving titles or decorations. A critic, a humorist, and two novelists seem to represent the realm of literature. I am not finding fatilt with the situation; it is due to the change in fashion. Nobody now wr...ites plays like the "School for Scandal" or "She Stoops to Con- quer." Nobody writes poems like " Endy- mion," or "The Excursion," or "In Memo- riam." Not long ago a philosophical Englishman, in an admirable book on modem France, referred to Switzerland as an example of "the inglorious prosperity" of federations, and prophesied that there are "worse fates awaiting democracies. "The United States" he tells us, "are as pros- perous as Switzerland, and have with affluence become almost as barren in art and in letters, after an early season of wondrous literary promise." We may be excused, I think, for believing that our form of government has not much to do with the decline of excellence in literature or in art.
