What reading level is The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here a fable is essential, — a fable which is to be conducted with rapidity, clearness, consistency, and surprise, without any, or certainly with very little, aid from narrative. This is the rea- son that generally nothing is more dull in telling than the plot of a play. It is seldom or never a good story in itself; and in this particular, some of the greatest writers, both in ancient and modern theatres, have failed in the most miserable manner.
It is well a play has still so many requisites t...o complete it, that, though the writer should not suc- ceed in these particulars, and therefore should be so far from perfection, there are still enough left in which he may please, at less expense of labor to himself, and perhaps, too, with more real advan- tage to his auditory. It is, indeed, very difficult hap- pily to excite the passions and draw the characters of men ; but our nature leads us more directly to such paintings than to the invention of a story. We are imitative animals ; and we are more naturally led to imitate the exertions of character and passion than to observe and describe a series of events, and to discover those relations and dependencies in them which will please.
