What reading level is The Makers of English Prose book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He then brought all his great powers of insight, sympathy, and vividness to CARLYLE: CHARACTERISTICS 211 bear upon his author. He permitted no prejudice to keep him from expressing what he felt to be the es- sential truth about the man and his work. The result is that his essays on authors for example those on Johnson and Burns are in themselves imperishable pieces of literature. They convey to the mind a clearer image of the man, both physical and spir- itual, than can be found anywhere else. ...They are sufficient to prove that in the domain of criticism, it is a case of Carlyle first and the rest nowhere.
As compared with other writers of history, essay, and biography, the power of Carlyle comes out in two ways. The first is a superior sincerity. He will have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about his hero. Thus, for example, no one could have been more antipathetic to him than Vol- taire. He disliked his writings, and perhaps resented still more his light and airy mockery, his power of riding on the wave, of utilizing popularity, of danc- ing through life with inimitable gaiety, scattering scathing jests as he went.
