What reading level is American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . . Here in England every day a chapter of Genesis, and a leader in the I imes.
"Their reHgion is a quotation; their church is a doll; and any examination is interdicted with screams of terror. In good company you expect them to laugh at the fanaticism of the vulgar; but they do not; they are the vulgar." "The later English want the faculty of Plato and Aristotle, of grouping men in natural classes by an insight of general laws, so deep that the rule is deduced with equal precision from few s...ubjects, or from one, as from multitudes of lives. Shakespeare is supreme in that, as in all the great mental energies. The Germans gen- erahze: the English cannot interpret the German mind. German science comprehends the Eng- lish. The absence of the faculty in England is shown by the timidity which accumulates moun- tains of facts, as a bad general wants myriads of men and miles of redoubts to compensate the inspirations of courage and conduct." The Subjective Writers 91 The last remark might have been taken from one of the Essays, so strongly marked is the metaphysical bias, so overconfidently does Emer- son here make use of the standard which he obtains, after all, only from a much-disputed philosophical tenet.
