What reading level is The Study of English Literature; a Plea for Its Recognition And Organization At the Universities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

From the Favole Bos- chereccie sprang what culminated in Comus, A stout octavo volui^e would not suflSce to illustrate in detail the indebtedness of Milton to Dante, Petrarch, and Tasso alone. Scarcely less important was the influence exercised on our prose literature by Italian wiiters. Without the Arcadia of Sannazaro we should not have had the Arcadia of Sidney, or the Pastoral Romance. To the novels of Boccaccio, Cinthio, and others we owe our earliest novels; to the Discourses of Giraldi a...nd Guazzo, our earliest treatise on moral philosophy. Castiglione shares with Plutarch and Guevara the honour of having suggested and inspired Lyly's ethical romance. / To the Italian historians, to the writings of Machiavelli and Guicciardini particularly, we must turn for the secret of the ethical and political temper of Bacon, for the sources of much of the philosophy embodied in the Assays, in the Zife of Henry the Seventh, and in so many other portions of his writings. It is notorious that Davila was the favourite historian of Hampden, and his influence is distinctly to be traced in the historical and political writings of Hobbes, Clarendon, and Temple.
