What reading level is A Student's History of American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The " characters " who com- prise the company are lightly sketched : the landlady's sentimental daughter who is wont to receive the state- ments of the speaker with a rising " yes ?" the ingen- ious youth " B. F.," the divinity student, the professor, the " old gentleman who sits opposite," the little school- mistress, and the Autocrat himself — who presides so wisely and talks to such excellent effect. There is, too, a tiny romance, as a relish ; but the charm of the volume is in the conversat...ion, which is simple and familiar, never commonplace. Shrewd observations, witty com- ment, happily turned epigrams, pithy phrases, bits of wisdom, passages of fantastic humor blend inimitably.
