What reading level is The Study of English Literature : Its Scope And Method : An Address Before the Alumni of Brown University, June 15, 1886 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

If our poetry and prose only reach their highest art as man — his hopes and plans, his passions and sorrows, his life here brooded over by so solemn mysteries — is the subject, still when nature is their theme, it is the nature amid which her disciples have been reared which is reflected from their pages. Or if, as in the case of Byron and Shelley, it is the nature of an adopted land sung by them in strains of so bewitching beauty, it is still true that nature has moulded the poet with her plas...tic hand.
All this, however, is but the vestibule to the philosophy of literature. It pertains more to form than to the soul. We pass on through it to behold more vital and more precious elements. Pausing here, we could not possibly explain the noblest work of our men of letters. The inner shrine is only reached when we approach the moral element. Here, indeed, 17 is the questio vexata of all art. How does it stand related to morals ? Is it wholly independent of all relation to the moral ? If connected, how are the two connected ?
