What reading level is A Defence of Poetry And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was at the period here adverted to, that the drama had its birth;and however a succeeding writer may have equalled or surpassedthose few great specimens of the Athenian drama which have beenpreserved to us, it is indisputable that the art itself never wasunderstood or practised according to the true philosophy of it, as at Athens. For the Athenians employed language, action, music, painting, the dance, and religious institutions, to produce a commoneffect in the representation of the highest... idealisms of passionand of power; each division in the art was made perfect in its kindby artists of the most consummate skill, and was disciplined intoa beautiful proportion and unity one towards the other. On the modernstage a few only of the elements capable of expressing the imageof the poet's conception are employed at once. We have tragedywithout music and dancing; and music and dancing without the highestimpersonations of which they are the fit accompaniment, and bothwithout religion and solemnity.
