What reading level is Wagner's Dramas And Greek Tragedy, By Pearl Cleveland Wilson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is no small achievement to succeed, in the very end of a drama, in changing the listener's attitude from antagonism to admiration, without introducing something to prove the former attitude founded upon a misconception. Wagner, following Aeschylus, brings this about by enlarging our view of the subject as a whole.
CHAPTER VI AJAX AND AMFORTAS: THE FALLEN HEROES In Wagner's Parsifal and the Ajax of Sophocles we see the effect on a noble character of the consciousness that he has shown himself... lacking in the one quahty in which he had been acknowledged supreme. Ajax, preeminent among the Greek chieftains for physical strength, at the very moment when he expected to prove it overwhelming has been diverted from his goal by madness, and disgraced himself by slaughter- ing flocks instead of the kings against whom he set out. In Parsifal Amfortas suffers a Mke humiHation. King of the knights who serve the Holy Grail, he had believed his moral strength invincible, and, relying on that, had gone forth to conquer KUngsor.
