What reading level is Biographical And Critical Miscellanies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cap. 93), at a time when the higher classes in the rest of Europe were often uninstructed in the elementary principles of knowledge.
E E 418 BIOGKAPHICAL AND CRITICAL MISCELLANIES.
phrases, Hebraisms and Grecisms, as were foreign to the genius of the tongue. These blemishes, of so little account in Dante's extensive poem, would have been fatal to the lyrical pieces of Petrarch, which, like mini- atures, from their minuteness, demand the highest finish of detail. The pains which the latter poet ...bestowed on the correction of his verses are almost inconceivable. Some of them would appear, from the memoranda which he has left, to have been submitted to the file for weeks, nay, months, before he dismissed them. Nor was this fastidiousness of taste frivolous in one who was correct- ing not for himself but for posterity, and who, in these peculiar graces of style, was creating beautiful and per- manent forms of expression for his countrymen. His acquaintance with the modern dialects, especially the Spanish and the Provencal, enriched his vocabulary with many exotic beauties.
