What reading level is The Evolution of the English Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless, though Scott founded the his- torical novel, enunciated its most successful theory, and is, perhaps, still the greatest his- torical novelist, he is not the best exponent of his own theory. Attractive as is the theory of the romantic magnetization of history, over- hanging it always is the shadow of the anger of the great god Verity. Scott was almost too ingrainedly honest for his theory. There are evidences of struggle when the Scotch lawyer becomes the romantic idealist in these... historical novels. In truth, the novels never really desert fact ; sometimes the story almost painfully and regretfully seems to cling to Digitized by Google THB^ HI8TOEI0AL KOVXL 105 fact. It is the pathetic complaint of one of our great humorists that, try as he would, he could never escape from the dominion of fact.
He regrets that in spite of his desires some facts crept into his history. ^^I cannot help it," he says sadly, ^^the truth is, that facts exude from me, — like the ottar of roses from the otter." The humorist had no overwhelm- ing reason for his grief.
