What reading level is A History of American Literature Since 1870 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The problem dominates the romance ; the book is primarily a treatise, a bit of special pleading. It is un- doubtedly all true, but one set out to read a romance of the old South. True as its facts may be, from the art side it is full of weaknesses. Leech, the carpet-bagger, and Still, the rascally overseer, are villains of the melodramatic type ; they are a dead black in character from first to last. The turning points of the action are accidents, the atmosphere is too often that of St. Elmo. W...hen the master is killed in battle the picture of the Indian killer falls to the hearth, and again when Leech is beating to death the wounded heir to the estate it falls upon the assassin as if in vengeance and nearly crushes him. The plot is chaotic. We are led to believe that Blair Cary, the doctor's daughter, who in the opening chapters is as charming as even Polly herself in In Ole Virginia, is to be the central figure, but Blair is abandoned for no real reason and Miss Welsh, a North- em girl, finishes the tale.
