What reading level is Criticism And Beauty a Lecture Rewritten book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All that my argument requires is proof that the judgements of great writers and artists, especially when they are untamed by the orthodoxies of tradition, show none of that agreement of which we are in search. Wordsworth on the eighteenth century, Boileau on the sixteenth, Voltaire on Shakespeare, the French romantics on the French classics, the Renaissance on the Middle Ages, are familiar illustrations of the point. And if further evidence be required, note how rarely eminent critics endeavour... to lead opinion upon new artistic developments, and how rarely, when they do, they succeed in anticipating the verdict of posterity — so hesitating is their tread, so wandering their course, when they cannot lean on a tried tradition.
CRITICISM AND BEAUTY 25 The same sharp division of taste among those who practise an art, somewhat smoothed over and blurred by those who subsequently comment on it, is illustrated (it seems to me) by the history of Gothic architecture. All know well the spectacle of some great cathedral slowly grown to comple- tion through the labours of successive generations.
