What reading level is Daniel De Foe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A woman well bred, well taught, furnished with the additional accomplishment of knowledge and beha- 52 DANIEL DEFOE viour, is a creature without comparison ; her society is the emblem of sublime enjoyment ; she is all soft- ness, sweetness, love, wit, and delight. " That Defoe should have held so exalted an opinion of the other sex is the more surprising considering the character of the heroines in his novels, and the many unflattering remarks passed upon women in some of his other writings, bu...t in his day both the upper and lower circles of Society were utterly corrupt, the Puritan yoke had been hard to bear, and the tide of fashion set strong in the opposite direction. Drink, gambling, extravagance, absolute license in manners and conversation seem to have been common to both sexes. It would be interesting to know if in that family circle about which so little is known, Defoe had found the ideal woman he so minutely describes. Of his two wives hardly anything is known, but it is possible that the hardworked journalist and politician found leisure in the intervals of business to educate to this high standard those three charming daughters of whom mention is made in Henry Baker's cor- respondence.
