What reading level is Americans And Others book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Amiller and his donkey were rustic (Marie Antoinette adoredrusticity); an abbe flirting with a miller's wife was as obviouslyartificial as Watteau. It would have been hard to find a happier ormore expressive combination. And when Rousseau and republicanism hadwon the race, we find the ladies of the Directoire illustrating thenational illusions with clinging and diaphanous draperies; andasserting their affinity with the high ideals of ancient Greece bywearing sandals instead of shoes, and rings ...on their bare white toes. The reaction from the magnificent formalism of court dress to thisabrupt nudity is in itself a record as graphic and as illuminatingas anything that historians have to tell. The same great principlewas at work in England when the Early Victorian virtues assertedtheir supremacy, when the fashionable world, becoming for a spelldomestic and demure, expressed these qualities in smoothly bandedhair, and draperies of decorous amplitude. There is, in fact, nophase of national life or national sentiment which has not betrayeditself to the world in dress.
