What reading level is Democracy And Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Again, there are good results to be gained from the study of a definite poetic or rather rhythmical form, irrespective of its emotional origins and of its emotional appeal, an essay, if I may use the big word, in morpho- logy. When the storm of criticism and reaction a few decades ago made havoc of comparative philology, it was found that while the stately edifice of oldest Aryan civilization, built up with words common to all the dialects, lay in a shapeless mass of ruin, the foundation walls,... so to speak, of grammatical forms and inflec- tions still stood intact. In like manner, form and structure of verse survive in poetry, while the actual matter of it changes with the shifts and doublings of human interest from genera- tion to generation. Let us make, then, a short essay in each of the methods of investigation named just now, a study in emotional function and a study in form, before turning to our actual subject.
For such a long historic look, some function of the art should be found, as old as may be and still active, where the facts are sure, their THE FUNCTIONAL ORIGINS OF POETRY 157 application is evident, and the passage from lower to higher forms is fairly susceptible of proof.
