What reading level is Edward Young's "conjectures On Original Composition" in England And Germany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When we read, let our imagination kindle at their charms ; when we write, let our judgment shut them out of our thoughts; treat even Homer himself as his royal admirer was treated by the cynic, — bid him stand aside, nor shade our composition from the beams of our own genius; for nothing original can rise, nothing immortal can ripen, in any other sun.
"Must we then," you say, "not imitate ancient authors?" Imitate them by all means; but imitate aright. He that imitates the divine Iliad does not... imitate Homer; but he who takes the same method which Homer took for arriving at a capacity of accomplishing a work so great.
Tread in his steps to the sole fountain of immortality; drink where he drank, at the true Helicon, that is, at the breast of nature. Imitate; but imitate not the composition, but the man. For may not this para- dox pass into a maxim? — namely, "The less we copy the renowned an- cients, we shall resemble them the more." But possibly you may reply that you must either imitate Homer, or depart from nature.
