What reading level is Virgil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The story of the visit to Rome and the ■interview is told in the first Eclogue in a curious and not very 1 happy allegory. And there the episode ends. IV We must now consider the poetry. His education finished, and his one appearance made at the bar, Virgil, as we saw, went back to Mantua, and began serious work upon pastoral poetry. The mode was suggested by Theocritus, whose influence is very clearly marked in passage after passage of the poems. But, as we have seen, Virgil was not a man of o...ne allegiance, and other influences are to be found, — as foi instance that of Lucretius in Eclogue vi, which is never- theless neither an imitation of Lucretius nor of Theocritus, but, while enriched by both of them, an original work. Critics have emphasized again and again Virgil's dependence on Greek models, but here as everywhere else the sympathetic reader will scarcely feel this. There may be imitation, but the general effect is not that of imitative poetry. It is not Theocritus, nor Lucretius, whom we are reading, but Virgil, a poet and their peer.
