What reading level is Ben Jonson And Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nearly three hundred years sever us from the publication of the Folio, and, as I have already said, we know that at that date very much less strict views were commonly held as to the obliga- tions of literary integrity. Literary deceptions — ** frauds " w^e might perhaps call them at the present day — were constantly perpetrated. Works were not infrequently attributed by their authors to other writers, who were, in fact, guiltless of any responsibility for them. Moreover, nobody at that date co...uld foresee that the authorship of the Shakespearean plays would be a matter of such transcendant importance as it has now become. Not having met Jonson in the flesh, and not knowing what his view^s may have been with regard to these literary deceptions, or by what constraining influences his action may have been 1 But see Note B at p. 45.
28 JONSON AND SHAKESPEARE governed, but knowing something concerning the practice of the times in this connexion, I see nothing unreasonable in beheving that he acted as I have suggested, and I should no more think of calling him '' a liar " on that account than I should think of branding Sir Walter Scott with that opprobrious epithet because he denied point- blank the authorship of the Waver ley Novels.
