What reading level is A Biography of William Cullen Bryant With Extracts From His Private Corresponde book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I have been looking over Cowper s translation of Homer lately, and comparing it with the original. It has astonished me that one who wrote such strong English as Cowper in his original compo sitions, should have put Homer, who wrote also with simplicity and spirit, into such phraseology as he has done. For example, when Ulysses, in the fifth book of the Odyssey, asks, What will become of me ? Cowper makes him say : what destiny at last Attends me ? and so on. The greater part is in such stilt...ed phrase, and all the free dom and fire of the old poet is lost. " A GLANCE AT HOMER. 193 No intimation is here given that he had attempted to im prove upon the Homeric renderings of Cowper, but such was the case. Going into his library about this time, I saw upon his table a fine edition of the Iliad and Odyssey (an Oxford edition, I think) which some friend had kindly presented to him. I took it up to examine it, and, as I did so, a bit of manu script dropped from between the leaves, which he said was a rapid version in blank verse of some passages in the fifth book of the Odyssey.
