What reading level is Dunsany the Dramatist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And though this be true it has been successful and deservedly so. It tells an interesting story in a most dramatic manner ; it has atmosphere and colour, and it shows amusingly how much better Dunsany is at his worst than many others at their best. I class the play as I do because it fails of the purpose for which it was intended. It set out to show something, and it failed to show it, and in the failing it obscured the action. The salient point of the play, its real raison d'etre, is the under...lying motive which prompts the action, and this motive is so vague as to be incoherent. That which remains, the action itself, saves the piece, but it is not enough to turn the play into that which it would have been had the whole motivation been apparent. That such motivation was intended is very evident, and that the intention was not carried out is equally so.
As for the poetry of the play, that lies hidden for the most part with that portion which has never seen the light. It is not there ; the most that we can say is that if the play had been written as it was intended, it would have been.
