What reading level is A Study in Shirleys Comedies of London Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was impossible for him not to be conscious of the vast amount of literary production that ^Dramatic Works f VI, p. 396.
James Shirley 23 had preceded him, but in spite of this he has succeeded in show- ing a real inventive power and a sure sense of what is, dramatically speaking, the best. In plotting his plays he has shown a greater simplicity than his predecessors, and is rarely guilty of produc- ing a poorly motived or a disorganized play. The dialogue in his comedies is bright and sponta...neous, never involved or obscure. This, combined with a real sense of humor and a perspicuous action, gives the great quality that leads to practical success, namely, interest. Mr. Gosse holds that Shirley of all the Eliza- bethans could most easily be restored to the modern stage. 1 In his treatment of character, he is slightly conventional and frequently prone to run into types. When we have read through his comedy of manners, we have become well acquainted with the typical Lon- doner. We have laughed at the rich young countryman who has come up to London to spend his money; we have seen the ins and outs of the needy gallant who w r ears his own hair, knows how to make a leg, and not infrequently lives by his wits.
