What reading level is Bernard Shaw book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No conflict between man and his environment can occur without the interposition of man's will. It is the clash of will and environment that constitutes drama, whether the environ- ment be some impalpable destiny as in the Greek Drama, some overwhelming conception of moral obligation as in the Shakespearian, or the narrowing ideals and institutions of an outworn society as in Ibsen and Tolstoy.
The place of Bernard Shaw's plays is in the last category. Yet they are distinct both from those of To...lstoy and Ibsen, who achieve, it must be confessed, an impersonality never at- tained by Shaw. Ibsen never philosophises, Shaw rarely does anything else. In his most i66 The Playwright impersonal situations the cloven hoof of the propagandist is evident. You look at A DolPs House in that nonplussed way in which you contemplate life. Candida creates quite a different impression ; in this play you are uncertain as to whether you are in the presence of life or not ; yet in spite of the fact that you are not convinced you feel vexed, for you are tempted to believe that you fail to do so through lack of intelligence.
