What reading level is The Historical Novel, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The romance of adventure stirs his blood in youth ; later in life, when he knows the world better, he finds his account rather in the novel of character, with its flashes of self-revelation. For 150 ON A NOVEL OF THACKERAY'S myself, I have outv^^orn my relish for Poe's tales, gruesome or melancholic, although I esteem his art not lower than I did ; and the artifice of Sheri- dan's comedies palls upon me nov\^, although once I held them to be the perfection of wit.
To-day the list is long of nov...elists in whose books 1 can lose myself with satisfaction; the list is long and of a most cosmopolitan com- plexion. As I visualize it in a column, 1 find American and British names, French and Russian.
There is Thackeray, for one, and for another, Thackeray's master, Balzac. There is Haw- thorne, and there is Turgenieff, Hawthorne's rival in ethical richness and in constructive sym- metry. There is Mr. Howells, with his incarna- tion of the more sophisticated American as he is seen to-day on the Atlantic seaboard ; and there is Mark Twain, with his resuscitation of the more primitive American as he was to be discerned once upon a time on the banks of the Mississippi.
