What reading level is An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Taste, And of the Origin of Our Ideas of Beauty, Etc. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The principles, which constitute grace, genius, or taste, are one;which is denominated grace in the object, genius in the production ofthe object, and taste in the perception of it.
The existence of grace _seems_ to depend more upon the character ofmental than of corporeal beauty. All its motions seem to indicate and, to be regulated by the utmost delicacy of sentiment! I have placed itbetween the highest sentiment of the human mind, _sublmity_, thatno rules can teach, and the highest sentiment... that rules can teach, _exact beauty_, the two extremes of the vrai reel and the vrai ideal. Grace seems, as it were, to hang between the influence of both; theirregular sublime giving character and relief to the negative anddetermined qualities of beauty; and beauty, i. E. Truth, confiningwithin due bounds the eccentric qualities of sublimity, forming, bothto sight and in idea, orderly variety, _the waving line_, neitherstraight nor crooked. The waving line is the symbol, or memento, asI may say, of grace, wherever it is seen in whatever form, animate orinanimate; and may be justly styled the line of taste or grace!
