What reading level is Early American Comedy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two other influences were being felt in England; a comic opera tendency illustrated very well in "The Shepherdess of the Alps" (1780), already cited, and in "The Noble Peasant" (1786) ; and a tendency toward a combination of declamations and scenic solemnity, for this was the age of Kemble and Kean. So, in America, we find three plays which fit very well, though somewhat confusedly into that part of English drama that was under these two influences. Mrs. Rawson's "Slaves in Algiers; or, A Strug...gle for Freedom" (1794) with songs and spectacles, John Hodgkinson's "Robin Hood; or, Sherwood Forest" (1808), and Joseph Hutton's "The Orphan of Prague" (1810), have scarce a line in them that is distinctly American, and they might- as well have been put on in London.
What is thus seen, in a dramatic way, of this transoceanic similarity in the matter of managerial selections for stage production is additionally demon- strated by a brief scrutiny of the activities of two of the foremost American playwrights of the period.
