What reading level is The Merry Monarch Or England Under Charles Ii Its Art Literature And Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Mulgrave had the good sense and the good taste to rank Shakespeare and John Fletcher before all other English dramatists; but in later life his good sense and good taste deserted him, partly through the influence of French criticism, and partly perhaps through the strength of his political prejudices, and he undertook a revision of Shakespeare's " Julius Csesar. " A believer in the gospel of the unities, he was shocked by the boldness with which Shakespeare treats time and place, and proceede...d to re- construct Shakespeare's great historical drama on the OR, ENGLAND UNDER CHARLES II. 131 model of a French tragedy. The result was seen in two plays instead of one, "Julius Caesar" and "Marcus Brutus, " each ending with a denunciation of the Roman hero's act of tyrannicide. The audacious adapter ventured even to meddle with Shakespeare's language, and trans- lated the fine, terse, and pregnant line, " The good is oft interred with their bones, " into " The good is often buried in their graves " — an alteration which throws a startling light on the noble author's want of true poetical percep- tion.
