What reading level is Bernard Shaw An Epitaph book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Similarly, as a dramatic critic, G. B. S. Erred, not by attaching too little value to the forms and conventions of the theatre, 46 BERNARD SHAW but by attaching too much. It is true that he did not make the absurd mistake of some of his followers, and regard Ibsen as a great dramatist on account of one or two pettifogging and questionable reforms in dramatic convention — such as the abolishing of soliloquies and extra doors to the sitting-room. But he cer- tainly attached too much importance to... these things — mainly because he knew so much about them ; and this insistence of his as a critic has had its revenge in some of his own plays where his purely technical mastery of theatrical devices, his stage-cleverness, and his craftsman's virtuosity, have led him into mechanical horse-play and stock positions unworthy of the author of John BulVs Other Island and Major Barbara.
There was a conspicuous instance of this in a late production at the Vaudeville Theatre — possibly the best instance which could be taken of Mr Shaw's readiness to be engrossed in theatrical technique.
