What reading level is A History of French Literature : From the Earliest Times to the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He keeps thoroughly to the conventional form of tragedy, but within that form his talent displays itself in several directions. Mistaken identity, recogni- tions, and tangled family relations constitute nearly the whole of 422 TRAGEDY: VOLTAIRE, CREBILLON, DUCIS Crebillon's dramatic system. He was credited, above all things, with stimulating terror, as in his strongest, most " atrocious " play, Atree et Thyeste. This tragedy treats the old subject of the inimical brothers. Thyeste has carried o...ff the wife of Atree, and Atree henceforth lives only for vengeance, endeavoring to use for that purpose the (unknown) son of Thyeste. When Crebillon adds the element of Thyeste's daughter, who is un- wittingly in love with the son, he furnishes all the data for a typical drama of his school. An extra horror was the cup of filial blood which was too much for neo-classical taste. But the play is written with power and concentration. Rhadamiste et Zenobie is even more illustrative. The subject has close analogies with Racine's Mithridate.
