What reading level is Areopagitica book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the amendment of manners be aimed at, look intoItaly and Spain, whether those places be one scruple the better, thehonester, the wiser, the chaster, since all the inquisitional rigourthat hath been executed upon books.
Another reason, whereby to make it plain that this Order will missthe end it seeks, consider by the quality which ought to be in everylicenser. It cannot be denied but that he who is made judge to sit uponthe birth or death of books, whether they may be wafted into this worldo...r not, had need to be a man above the common measure, both studious, learned, and judicious; there may be else no mean mistakes in thecensure of what is passable or not; which is also no mean injury. Ifhe be of such worth as behooves him, there cannot be a more tedious andunpleasing journey-work, a greater loss of time levied upon his head, than to be made the perpetual reader of unchosen books and pamphlets, ofttimes huge volumes. There is no book that is acceptable unless atcertain seasons; but to be enjoined the reading of that at all times, and in a hand scarce legible, whereof three pages would not down at anytime in the fairest print, is an imposition which I cannot believehow he that values time and his own studies, or is but of a sensiblenostril, should be able to endure.
