What reading level is The Life And Times of Laurence Sterne book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gosse, III, 53 (London, 1885).
THE SERMONS OP ME. YOEICK 217 of, nothing admired, but what I cannot help calling a very- insipid and tedious performance : it is a kind of novel, called The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy; the great humour of which consists in the whole narration always going backwards. I can conceive a man saying that it would be droll to write a book in that manner, but have no notion of his persevering in executing it. It makes one smile two or three times at the beginni...ng, but in recompense makes one yawn for two hours."* "A fashionable thing", Walpole called Shandy in sending a parcel of books to Horace Mann at Florence; and when he fell in with Sterne a few years later at Paris, he found the man's talk as tiresome as his writings. In neither, he said, was there anything to raise a laugh, though one were in a mood for laughter.
Of men of letters, Goldsmith alone spoke out in print against Tristram Shandy. Not yet author of the Vicar of Wakefield, he was then contributing to the Public Ledger his Chinese Letters, since known as the Citizen of the World.
