What reading level is The Living Authors of England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dickens is a poet and a zealot — with more humor than wit, and is totally destitute of sarcasm. He can vituperate, not sneer ! and like most humorists, he has a tendency to exaggera- tion. We all know that a certain degree of exaggeration is ne- cessary to get the reader up to the author's mark, but we maintain Digitized by VjOOQIC 168 BRITISH WRITERS.
that Mr. Dickens magnifies till it becomes so apparent as to expose itself. It may be necessary for an actress to rouge to a certain ex- tent to... counteract the ghastly effect of the broad stage-lights on the human countenance, but what should we say of her who daubed it on indiscriminately and unsparingly, giving as much to the nose as the cheek ? So with the author, he composes in a glow, and beholds things immensely brighter than it will appear to the coldness, stu- pidity, or apathy of the common reader ! Mr. Dickens' humor is Falstaffian, we admit, but he too frequently stuffs the fine old knight so much as to make him little better than a heap of old clothes ; he buries the man in the buck basket truly, but he also requires him to wear them content, but like the grave-digger in Hamlet, he has too many waistcoats to be funny.
