What reading level is A History of Russian Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Your father, with all his 326 RUSSIAN LITERATURE crimes, has at last been brought to judgment; but your father, arrant rogue, will manage to escape. Sleep, youngster, sleep while you are honest — sleep, baby, sleep/" His gloomy poetry occasionally recalls that of Crabbe. He pours forth a torrent of sarcasm, anathema, and reproach, on every rank of Russian society. Occa- sionally the lyric poet grows stronger than the satirist, and he calls up figures which are not ideal indeed — he is too reali...stic for that— but which possess a sympathetic reality : princesses, who remind one of the ancient Roman matrons ; men of the people, humble and patient, but good and strong amidst the darkness about them, the darkness of an " underground prison without a light" and such martyrs of the struggle for light as Bielinski, Dobrolioubov, and Pissarev.
But these are rare gleams of light. Even when Nekrassov paints the popular life— his favourite subject, his great love, his passion — he follows the twofold line which corresponds in a manner to the positive and negative poles of his talent, and always ends in an abyss of the darkest desolation.
