What reading level is American Literary Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of the images are very effective. Nothing can be better than — The bards sublime, Whose distant footsteps echo Down the corridors of Time.
The idea of the last quatrain is also very effective. The poem, on the whole, however, is chiefly to be admired for the graceful insouciance of its metre, so well in accordance with the character of the sentiments, and especially for the ease of the general manner. This " ease," or naturalness, in a literary style, it has long been the fashion to regard... as ease in appearance alone — as a point of really difficult at- tainment. But not so : — a natural manner is difficult only to him who should never meddle with it — to the un- natural. It is but the result of writing with the understand- ing, or with the instinct, that the tone, in composition, should always be that which the mass of mankind would adopt — and must perpetually vary, of course, with the occasion. The author who, after the fashion of "The North American Review," should be, upon all occasions, merely " quiet," must necessarily upon many occasions, be simply silly, or stupid ; and has no more right to be con- sidered " easy," or " natural," than a Cockney exquisite, or than the sleeping Beauty in the wax-works.
