What reading level is A History of Theatrical Art in Ancient And Modern Times volume 5 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Writers of a somewhat later generation were Néricault, Destouches, and Marivaux, both genuine eighteenth century men, in whom both philosophy and the influence of English morals appear in the bud. Destouches, the refined diplomat, the trusted ambassador of the Regent to the Court of St James, had in London become acquainted with English literature, and borrowed material from it in his own way for his lightly-moralising character-plays, among which Le Glorieux became the most popular. Marivaux p...hilosophised ingeniously and elaborately over the tender feelings, and invented com- plicated plots for the display of his elegant characters.
However, none of these authors, who wrote a fluent and comprehensive style, broke new ground. We very seldom meet with a new character, a fresh type from life, like the coarse, ridiculously vain financier. This abundance of new plays contained no poetic wealth, only well-cultivated productive ability. The same situations, the same characters, though somewhat modified by time, recur over and over again, and dramatic art, which found no creative genius to regenerate it, naturally became stereotyped in accepted forms and departments to a degree unknown before.
