What reading level is The Spirit of American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The state might have his money if it used it for useful, or at worst, harmless enterprises, such as building roads. He was wilHng to conform with any peaceful nonsense or extravagance. "One cannot be too much on his guard . . . lest his action be biased by obstinacy or an undue regard for the opinions of men." He simply asked not to be made accessory to legalized crime.
He had no disposition to reform the world, though he joined the abolitionists, lilce all decent New Englanders of all creeds a...nd political principles. "The government does not concern me much, and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it." That was a fair and a practical attitude for a freeman in an agricultural nation like America sixty years ago, where he who had skill to work could get a living somehow. A complexly organized industrial system has since grown up in America, all the good land is occupied, or at least fenced with titles, and to-day even so capable a man as Thoreau would find it diflBcult to support himself in decency with a half day's work.
