What reading level is The Personality of Napoleon the Lowell Lectures Delivered At Boston in Februar book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At several points he went back to the old customs, as when he insisted on strengthening the control of the father over the children, and of the husband over the wife. Here his Corsican notions clashed with those that prevailed during the French Revolution. As we saw, the customs of Corsica allowed a father in extreme cases to kill his son; and the power of the husband over the wife was almost oriental. The social anarchy of the Revolution favoured a reaction towards the old Roman ideals; and Bo...naparte, profiting by the licence of the Jacobins, now insisted on the complete supremacy of the husband. These were his words: "The husband must have absolute power to say to his wife: ' Madame, you shall not go out: you must not go to the play; you must not meet such and such a person. ' " ' The natural retort for a woman of spirit would be — " If you speak so, I will go to the play, and I will meet him. " At this point, then, we again notice Napoleon's tendency to regulate and control. Surely he should have seen that love, or, failing it, conjugal and per- sonal honour, is the chief safeguard of marriage, and that the multiplication of rules tends to weaken those salutary feelings.
