What reading level is The Lady; Studies of Certain Significant Phases of Her History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Mr. Dickinson uses it, with a new content, it carries associations of a purely^ formal sort, primarily of course with 192 THE LADY Plato. It must be said, I think, that while the Plato-lover is always glad to be reminded of Plato, it is more magnanimous than wise in a modern author to evoke that great shade too vividly as a standard of comparison. But the reader of the Modern Symposium as he closes the book with the last speaker's confes- sion of faith in his ears and the vision of early mor...ning before his eyes, is reminded, more legitimately than of Plato, of another great dialogue which closes also with a hymn, and with the discovery that "a beautiful dawn of rosy hue was already born in the east, and that all the stars had vanished save Venus, sweet mistress of the sky, who holds the bonds of night and day; from which there seemed to breathe a gentle wind that filled the air with crisp cool- ness and began to waken sweet choruses of joyous birds in the murmuring forests of the hills hard by." * In this dialogue Count Baldesar Castiglione, setting out to describe the perfect courtier, gives us incidentally a treatise on the lady of his day, her theory and practice, together with a magnificent statement of the doctrine of Platonic love.
