What reading level is The Romantic Movement in English Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

that such perverted zeal Should spread on Britain's favoured ground.' He can be trivial for so many reasons, one of which is a false theory of simplicity, not less than a lack of humour.
'My little Edward, say why so; My Uttle Edward, tell me why,' is the language of a child, not of a grown man; and when Wordsworth yses it in his own person, even when he is sup- posed to be speaking to a child, he is not using 'the real lan- guage of men,' but the actual language of children. The rea- son why a
... fine poem like ' The Beggars ' falls so immeasurably below a poem like ' The Leech-Gatherer ' is because it has in it something of this infantile quality of speech. I have said that Wordsworth had a quality of mind which was akin to the child's fresh and wondering apprehension of things. But he was not content with using this faculty like a man ; it dragged him into the depths of a second childhood hardly to be dis- tinguished from literal imbeciUty. In a famous poem, ' Simon Lee,' he writes : — 88 EOMANTIC MOVEMENT IN ENGLISH POETRY 'My gentle reader, I perceive How patiently you've waited; And now I fear that you expect Some tale wiU be related.' There are more lines of the kind, and they occur, as you see, in what is considered one of Wordsworth's successes.
