What reading level is The Truth About Burns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are sanguine enough to believe that the olla podrida of guttural slang and corrupted English which now passes as " Braid Scots, " especially in the large towns and populous districts, could be sifted and winnowed by constant comparison with the purer forms of expression exemplified in our representative Scottish writers. In this way the '* gude auld Scottish tongue " would be purified and preserved by a more direct and practical method than magazine articles and lectures, however able and we...ll-intentioned these may be.
2o6 THE TRUTH ABOUT BURNS No man or woman can pretend to know what manner of man Burns was who has not made some acquaintance with his prose compositions, which consist almost exclusively of letters to his friends and acquaintances. Over six hundred of these have been recovered and published, which take up as much space in print as his poems and songs. Through the latter runs a faint outline of the main events of his life, but unless these events are strung in orderly sequence on the thread of the narrative they lose most of their value as indices to the influences which shaped his thoughts and guided the current of his life.
