What reading level is The Makers of Modern Poetry; a Popular Handbook to the Greater Poets of the Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No critical reader can help noticing that in the power of pure invention Tennyson is singularly weak. It is the weakness of his invention which led to the vicious elabo- ration of style which we have remarked in " Enoch Arden." But in the old chronicle of Sir Thomas Malory of the fabulous deeds of the Knights of the Round Table, there is a series of stories complete in every IDYLLS AND THE ''IDYLLS OF THE KING." 229 incident and detail. The chronicle is full of graphic force and poetic merit. I...t is indeed so full of the genuine elements of poetry that many persons, who have care- fulh' read Sir Thomas Malory, refuse to think that Tennyson has improved upon him. In many senses he has not. He has often failed where Malory is strongest, necessarily perhaps, because to make Malory acceptable to modern ears it was needful to smooth over a good many awkward details. But what Tennyson has done is to imbue the old chronicle with new life and spirit, to interpret it by a Christian insight, and to apply its ancient lessons to the complex conditions of modern life and thought.
