What reading level is The Pleasures of Literature And the Solace of Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1783-1859 'Cbc pleasures of Xtterature With the true poet everything is terse, touching, or brilhant. He gives the choicest thoughts in the choicest language. He illustrates them by everything that he sees most striking in nature and art. He enriches them by pictures of human life, such as it is passing before him. His writings, therefore, contain the spirit, the aroma, if I may use the phrase, of the age in which he lives. They are caskets which enclose within a small compass the wealth of the... language, — its family jewels, which are thus transmitted in a portable form to posterity. The setting may occasionally be anti- quated, and require now and then to be renewed, as in the case of Chaucer ; but the brilliancy and intrinsic value of the gems continue unaltered. Cast a look back over the long reach of literary history. What vast valleys of dulness, filled Ube pleasures of literature 93 with monkish legends and academi- Poetry in cal controversies! what bogs of theo- ^Literature logical speculations !
