What reading level is The Exemplary Theatre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here again we have to consider both absolute ^® conditions (as far as such things can ever livelihood ^xist) and the tendencies of contemporary development, very patent to us. The theatre's every eflPort at the moment is to establish fixed conditions of employment. Now a certain fixity Frangais. I do not pretend to know how, in practice, this works; but I seem to remember that of the many inevitable and, no doubt, salutary attacks upon an academic institution a large proportion of those levelle...d at the Frangais have been based on its alleged myopic attitude towards the new playwright or the unaccustomed play. Now, for one thing, committees that are large enough to develop parties tend always to a policy of compromise; that is one good reason for condemning thorn for such a purpose as this. And even if the plays chosen by a conmiittee in which actors predom- inated — even such sublimated actors as we are forecasting — were not always likely to be more remarkable for the superficial effectiveness of their acting qualities than the dramatic soundness of their content, there would always be the danger of a subtle and very fatal form of compromise in the disposition to give each lead- ing actor (and one presumes a committee of leading actors only) his turn at a good part.
