What reading level is The Superlative, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We tell the chronicle of parentage, birth, birth-place, schooling, school-mates, earning of money, mar- riage, publication of books, celebrity, death ; and when we have come to an end of this gossip, no ray of relation appears between it and the goddess- SHAKSPEARE; OR, THE POET. 63 bom ; and it seems as if, had we dipped at random into the " Modern Plutarch," and read any other life there, it would have fitted the poems as well.
It is the essence of poetry to spring, like the rain- bow daughte...r of Wonder, from the invisible, to abolish the past and refuse all history. Malone, Warburton, Dyce and Collier, have wasted their oil.
The famed theatres, Covent Garden, Drury Lane, the Park and Tremont have vainly assisted. Bet- terton, Garrick, Kemble, Kean and Macready ded- icate their lives to this genius ; him they crown, elucidate, obey and express. The genius knows them not. The recitation begins ; one golden word leaps out immortal from all this painted pedantry and sweetly torments us with invitations to its own inaccessible homes.
