What reading level is The Making of a Novelist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The house itselfwas orderly and clean, and the discipline as complete as in a gaol. Theonly thing which distinguished it from other places of its kind was theseverity of the labour imposed.
The limits of labour are fixed by law. There is such and such a weightof oakum to be picked, or such a weight of stone to be broken; butthe good guardians of Gloucester, without in the least infringing theprovisions of the Poor Law Board, made the work twice as severe asit was in other houses than their own.... Before every casual pauper wasplaced the regulation quantity of stone--it was the hardest I tackled onmy pilgrimage--and beyond the morning's stint was set a screen throughwhich every atom of the stone had to be passed before the job wasfinished and the wanderer was allowed out upon his way again. It was nobusiness of mine to be refractory, and I hammered away with such zealas I could command; but it took me six hours to get through the taleof work. When I had earned my own discharge I left a handful ofunfortunates behind me who had theirs yet to finish.
