What reading level is A Manual of the Art of Fiction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Howells, that the author of fiction has a right to assert himself as the narra- tor, provided that he be a person of interest and charm.
It remains for us to consider the various moods in which, in such a case, the writer may look upon his story. The self-obliterating -author endeavors to hide his own opin- ion of the characters, in order not to interfere with the reader's independence of judgment concerning them; but the author who writes personally does not hesitate to reveal, nor even to ejc...press directly, his admiration of a character's merits or his deprecation of a character's defects. You will seek in vain, in studying the ficti- 136 POINT OF VIEW IN NARRATIVE tious people of Guy de Maupassant, for any indication of the author's approval or disapproval of them; and there is something very admirable in this absolute impas- siveness of art. But on thie other hand, there is a cer- tain salutary humanness about an author who loves or hates his characters just as he would love or hate the same sort of people in actual life, and writes about them with the glow of personal emotion.
