What reading level is Essays And Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The greatest man of this time. — the greatest genius of the Hterary renaissance in Italy, — was Angelo Poliziano ; he died in 1494, when Erasmus was twenty-seven.
With Erasmus a new period opens. Two things broadly distinguish him, as a scholar, from the men before and after him. First, he was not only a refined humanist, writing for the fastidious few, and prizing no judgment but theirs ; he took the most profitable authors of antiquity, — profitable in a moral as well as a literary sense, — c...hose out the best things in them, — and sought to make these things widely known, — applying their wisdom or wit to the cir- cumstances of his own day. Secondly, in all his work he had an educational aim, — and this of the largest kind. The evils of his age, — in Church, in State, in the daily lives of men, — seemed to him to have their roots in ignorance, — ignorance of what Christianity meant, — ignorance of what the Bible taueht, — ignorance of what the noblest and most gifted minds of the past, whether Christian or pagan, had contributed to the instruction of the human race.
