What reading level is The Life & Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That was your son called Judas, — the sordid and treacherous idea, so inseparable from the name, would have accom- panied him through life like his shadow, and, in the end, made a miser and a rascal of him, in spite. Sir, of your example.
I never knew a man able to answer this argument.
But, indeed, to speak of my father as he was ; — he was certainly irresistible ; — both in his orations and disputations ; — he was born an orator ; — QiodiduKToc.
— Persuasion hung upon his lips, and the elemen...ts of Logick and Rhetorick were so blended up in him, — and, withal, he had so shrewd a guess at the weak- nesses and passions of his respondent, that Nature might have stood up and said, — " This man is elo- quent." — In short, whether he was on the weak or the strong side of the question, 'twas hazardous in either case to attack him. — And yet, 'tis strange, he had never read Cicero^ nor Qu'tntUian de Oratore, nor Isocrates, nor Aristotle, nor Longinus amongst the antients ; — nor Fossius, nor Sk'ioppius, nor Ramus, nor Farnahy amongst the moderns ; — and what is more astonishing, he had never in his whole life the least light or spark of subtilty struck into his mind, by one single lecture upon Crachnthorp or Burger sdicius, or any Dutch logician or commentator ; — he knew not so much as in what the difference of an argument ad ignorantiam, and an argument ad hominem consisted ; so that I well remember, when he went up along with OF TRISTRAM SHANDY.
