What reading level is The Principles of English Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is heroic and sublime while Coleridge is do- mestic and sentimental; and in poetry on the heroic and sublime scale one may well maintain a more turbid rhythm and a more active conflict.
Moreover, we must remember that our aesthetic judgments are relative, not absolute. If I, with many of my contemporaries, prefer a rhythm more tranquil than Milton's, this is partly, at least, because we have for two centuries been eagerly cultivating the art of rimed verse ; and rime, as subsequent chapters ...will show, favors tranquillity. There have thus become fixed upon our rhythmic sense habits of which we cannot wholly divest ourselves; or if we do so.
62 English Verse by some violent eiFort or by some caprice of personal prejudice, we cannot be sure that our judicial faculties will keep their poise.
Whether, therefore, Milton's verse does or does not in these respects approach nearest to absolute perfection, no one knows and no one is competent to find out. After all, in the reading of great poetry appreciation is more important, than judgment ; the latter is only a means to the former, and our wisest endeavor will be to attain a sympathetic comprehension of the rhythmical spirit by which each poet has been directed.
