What reading level is A Students History of English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The poem opens with a fine analysis of rea- son : — " Dim as the borrowed beams of moon. " Five years later the poet had himself turned Catholic, and in the Hind and the Panther (1687) defended the claims of Romanism more earnestly than he had argued the former cause. The Church of Rome is figured in the Milk- White Hind " immortal and unchanged, '' while the Church of England is represented by " The Panther, sure the noblest, next the Hind, And fairest creature of the spotted kind. " Dryden ha...d been made laureate in 1670. With the advent of William and Mary in 1688, the poet lost his office and his pension, but did not renounce his Catho- lic creed. Indeed, though Dryden had changed his politics and his religion at times so conspicuously apt as to arouse suspicions of his sincerity, there is reason to believe that in both he was honest. Certainly he did not turn back in the face of positive loss, as did many of his contemporaries who ebbed with the tide.
During the last ten years of the poet's life he em- ployed his talents largely in translation, turning into 220 FROM BACON TO DRYDEN brilliantly polished heroic couplets the tales of Ovid and of Homer, the /Satires of Juvenal and Persius, and the ^Eneid of Vergil entire.
