What reading level is The Tempo of Modern Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In such a recent work, for example, as Howden Smith's life of Vanderbilt, it is impossible to tell, with all the imaginary conversations and interpretations thrown in, how much of the picture is Vanderbilt and how much Smith, and, in my opinion, for that very reason it is worthless except as Smith's opinion of Vanderbilt, which in itself is a matter of little or no importance.
An entire essay might be written on style as part of the method of presentation, but perhaps nothing I could say would ...teach the would-be biographer as much as would a careful reading of Smith's book, just alluded to, and Johnson's Andrew Jackson. Both authors had to deal with self-made men, rather rough and uncouth in some of their aspects. Smith tries to achieve his effect by filling his pages ad nauseam with God Damns, Christs!, and other oaths and obscenity. Johnson with- out a single oath gives us just as clear an idea that Jack- son's language at times was appalling and he conveys all the frontier roughnesses of the man, but at the same time he penetrates to his soul as Smith does not.
