To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
344 LATER ELIZABETHAN AND JACOBEAN LITERATURE bk. Vi either alone or with others of his collaborators, we can obtain an idea of his own literary temper and genius which is almost logically demonstrable. There is no evidence that he had any connection with the Universities, with the Inns of Court, or with any learned profession, or, as commonly reputed, respectable means of livelihood. He seems to have been simply a working dramatist and man of letters, an inhabitant of the earlier and more roma...ntic, but not more fortunate, Grub Street. For some forty years he appears to have written plays and pamphlets, the direct ancestors and representatives of the novels and the newspapers by which his kind live, sometimes in splendour, often in decent comfort, to-day. It is certain that Dekker did not live in splendour, and probable that he did not often live in comfort. But he displays in his prose works great talent for observation and descriptive narration, and in his plays a most charming dramatic genius, a little, as is the wont of the time, chaotic and irregular, but sweet and pathetic, as is no contemporary save the master of all, especially in the delineation of women's characters, while he has both blank verse and lyric touches and flashes, not seldom well sustained, of divinest poetry.
