What reading level is A Quaker Singers Recollections book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here these men smoke their pipes, say their prayers, burn their joss sticks, and study their enormously lengthy parts. They act every night in plays which it sometimes takes weeks to finish, and fine actors many of them are, among the best I have ever seen. Asking when these artists took their exercise, I was informed that they went out only at night. When I voiced my surprise, I was told that they dare not go abroad in the daytime, for they would be insulted by the populace, mal treated, beate...n, stoned, and driven back to the burrows of their theatre, where the audience thought they be longed and nowhere else.
Thus we have up to the present day a continuance of the hostile attitude toward our craft inherited from the older times, when the actor had no rights, could not be married or buried by the clergy; but remained a vagabond, alive or dead, and was legally so termed. A strolling player, because forbidden to settle down any where, was obliged to keep going, no matter what his talents, no matter how much he contributed to the joy of his audiences or, in later years, to the education of the public.
