What reading level is William Makepeace Thackeray book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus far he had been guilty of no act unworthy a courtier, and so stern a moralist as Peel gave him an unsolicited testi- monial, of which any man might be proud. " I was really pleased at Lord Hertford's getting the Garter," wrote the statesman. " I was pleased very disinter- estedly, and for his own sake merely, for I like him.
He is a gentleman, and not an every-day one." But presently the love of pleasure dominated his intellect. His cynical contempt for mankind was ex- pressed in a basely ...crapulous life, which has eclipsed the record of his good qualities. After the passing of the Reform Bill he renounced politics, and took a dis- like of England ; wherefore he wandered up and down France and Italy with a band of demireps and parasites for his camp-followers. Like Steyne, he was haunted by the fear of madness, which he had inherited along with his wealth and his titles ; nor is there any doubt that the excesses of his last years were the result of PUNCH AND VANITY FAIR IO9 senile insanity.^ At the end he was scarce his own master, and in the last letter addressed to Crolcer he betrays his own helplessness.
