What reading level is Appreciations of Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each stanza ends with this strange refrain of "sad bad glad mad," adjectives, which excellently express the change- ful and extraordinary character of that poor student of Paris with whose name modern French literature properly begins. He lived a terrible and reckless life, very nearly ending with the gallows; he was an associate at one time of princes and bishops, at another time of thieves and pros- titutes; he would be one day a spendthrift, the next day a beggar or a prisoner ; and he sang ...of all these experiences as no man ever sang before or since. Really Swinburne's praise in this case is not only just — it represents the best possible estimate of the singer's faults and virtues com- bined.
To speak in detail of the great range of subjects chosen by Swinburne is not possible within the limits of this lee- 138 STUDIES IN SWINBURNE ture. I am going to make selections from every part of his production, except the dramatic, as well as I can, and the selections will be made with a view especially to show you the music of his verse and the brilliance of his language.
