What reading level is Vergil And the English Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
4. 511-515) The description of the Golden Age is a treatment of a theme so universal in all literature that it is impossible to trace it to any one model. When Thomson writes, But now those white unblemished minutes, whence The fabling poets took their golden age, Are foimd no more amid these iron times, he may be thinking of Horace and his longing for the arva heata, of Isaiah and his picture of the reign of the Prince of Peace, or of any of their numerous imitators. But when we examine the li...nes which were in the early editions, but were not included in those of 1744 and 1746, it is clear that Vergil is his chief though not his only model. Thomson departs here from the Georgicsi, which contain merely a suggestion for the passage, and follows the fourth Eclogue, many of the lines being close imitations of the Latin: The knotted oak Shook from his boughs the long transparent streams Of honey, creeping through the matted grass. Th' uncultivated thorn a ruddy shower Of fruitage shed, on such as sat below.
