To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The second ode, that on Napoleon, contains perhaps the most penetrating analysis of his character ever written. The third, France, Decem- ber, 1870, which we give here, has in it more of the prophetic spirit than any poetry written in England since Wordsworth or perhaps since Milton. And he shows the same power in his handling of GEORGE MEREDITH 305 myth. The idea, and much of the execution, of The Day of the Daughter of Hades makes it one of the most beautiful adaptations of ancient legend to ...the uses of an cver-chanf!;ing humanity which any language can boast. It assumes too much knowledge in the reader, no doubt, as Phoebus with Admctus also does; but in spite of crudities and obscurities both arc true imaginative creations, and have played a real part in helping modern Englishmen to perceive the undying signitkance and i)eauty of Clreek story. And of course the author of the novels could not hut l)e even more at home in the world of his own day. What modern poet has given us a finer, more tragic, or truer contemporary drama than Modern Love, of which, by the way, the difficulty is generally much exaggerated?
