What reading level is A Short History of Italy 476 1900 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Direct Greek influence is most conspicuous in Botticelli. This rare spirit wandered about half in the world of reality which he ill understood and depicted badly, and half in a world of fantasy which he knew better than any other painter. The secret of this world of fantasy, as he discovered, was mo- tion. If a vision tarries, it becomes touched by the blight of familiarity, soiled by the comradeship of life. The fairy spirit of imagination must be ever on the wing. No artist ever let Sweet Fan...cy loose as Botticelli did in his two great pictures, The Prima- vera (Spring) and The Birth of Venus. In them this Greek influence finds its fullest direct expres- sion. The glory of dawn, the first unveiled fresh beauty of the world, which the Greeks saw, Botti- celli saw also. But besides the childlike joy in pure beauty is another, more complicated, element. Into THE RENAISSANCE 247 the rapturous Greek world, beautiful with sensuous charm, the bewildering idea of a mora] order pre- sents itself.
