What reading level is The Modern French Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He gave us an elegant discourse, well arranged, full of matter, agreeably delivered, and just of the right oratorical warmth, neither too hot nor too cold. It was important to make us anxious to see the play, but it was also important to prove that Eugfene was not stupid, and that he knew very well where his author's shoe pinched. Marivaux is an unrivalled delineator of the dawn of love. Once and once only, in Le Prince Travesti, he tried to paint love in its maturity, with its tears, its strug...gles, its storms ; he slipped from idyl into melodrama. But it was a mistake, ROUND ABOUT THE THEATRES. 173 and a mistake which explains why the play was consigned to obliTion, and why it will return there to-morrow. Away with it for a century ! I am surprised that no English manager has yet thought of transferring these classical matinees to London, and reviving three centuries of the stage, from Gorboduc and Gammer GurtovUs Needle to the comedies of Douglas Jerrold. Certainly, neither artists, nor lecturers, nor the public, would fail to answer to the call.
