What reading level is An Outline Sketch of English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Measures were in ques- FROM RESTORATION TO DEATH OF POPE. 161 tion rather than principles, and there was little in- spiration to the poet in Exclusion Bills and Acts of Settlement.
Court and society, in the reign of Charles II. And James II. , were shockingly dissolute, and in litera- ture, as in life, the reaction against Puritanism went to great extremes. The social life of the time is faithfully reflected in the diary of Samuel Pepys. He was a simple-minded man, the son of a London tailor, a...nd became, himself, secretary to the admi- ralty. His diary was kept in cipher, and published only in 1825. Being written for his own eye, it is singularly outspoken; and its naive, gossipy, con- fidential tone makes it a most diverting book, as it is, historically, a most valuable one.
Perhaps the most popular book of its time was Samuel Butler's Hudibras (1663-64), a burlesque ro- mance in ridicule of the Puritans. The king car- ried a copy of it in his pocket, and Pepys testifies that it was quoted and praised on all sides.
