What reading level is The Poets of Dumfriesshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
250 CARLYLE AND HIS CIRCLE when staying at the house of his sister, Mrs. Aitken, at Dumfries, he received a telegram informing him of Mrs. Carlyle's sudden death as she was driving in Hyde Park. From the effect of the blow which thus fell upon him the old man never quite recovered. The tribute to his wife's memory in the Reminiscences is the most important work written bv him after her death. The melancholy which for Carlyle painted the skies 'bleared, ' and made the sunsets ' wae, ' finds marv...ellous expression in Jane Welsh Carlyle^ and the record is full of sentences unequalled for throbbing pathos. In a wiser age than ours the literary value of the sketch will be as widely recognised as the interest which it possesses as a human document.
In his latter years Carlyle was cheered by the com- panionship of his niece Miss Mary Carlyle Aitken, after- wards the wife of Mr. Alexander Carlyle. In 1874 he was offered by Disraeli the Grand Cross of the Bath, the highest distinction for merit at the Queen's command, but this he gratefully declined.
