What reading level is The Reception of Goethe's Faust in England in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But the ideal reader that the translator should have in mind, is not a poet, and he needs the attractiveness of the form of the poem to captivate and hold his attention. And this is particularly true of a poem like " Faust " whose peculiar excellences consist in great part in the rhythm and harmony of its versification.
Even with such a high aim in view, many feel called to trans- late Gk)ethe's " Faust " in poetical form who do not possess the requisite qualifications in imaginative talent and
... linguistic scholarship. Their work will be worthless or mediocre, both from the standpoint of verse and interpretation. A translation in mediocre verse does not do justice to the original. Literal prose is to be preferred, as there will then be no deception in regard to the form of the poem. There is an agreement by mutual consent between a prose translator and his readers that the form of the poem is to be ignored, while in an inferior verse translation, or in any other version, that by omission or otherwise is not true to the spirit of the original, a spurious article is oflfered which deceives the reader.
