What reading level is The Essays of Sainte Beuve volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A fragment of a letter it may be, or of a conversation, either imagined or simply inserted in that chapter on Judgments. " He said that wit in that young woman was like a well-set diamond, " etc. , is of itself a charming jewel, which all the taste of an Andre Qienier could not have set more worthily and artistically. I say Andre Ch^nier inten- tionally, in spite of their dissimilarity, because each time I come to this passage in La Bruyfere, the lovely air, " Elle a vecu, Myrto, la jeune Taren...tine, " etc. , comes singing into my head. If it surprises us now that, having so much in common with the eighteenth century. La Bruyfere was not more often quoted, and more celebrated in it, the first reply would be that he was too wise, too disinterested, too unassuming for that ; attracted to, and interested in mankind in general, in all sorts and conditions of men, he mustliave seemed an inactive kinsman of the century, i68 LA BRUY^RE. with little fellow-feeling for its passions and hostilities ; and, moreover, the piquancy and applicability of certain personal portraits had disappeared ; fashion mingled with the form of the book, and some special fashions had gone by.
