What reading level is Eighteenth Century Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Charles Boyle, Earl of Orrery — not the Orrery just referred to, but another already mentioned as the writer of a comedy — deserves still better remembrance as the translator of those letters of Phalaris that ' led the Brawls ' in the famous conflict between the Ancients and the Moderns, of which the prose ' Iliad ' is Swift's * Battle of the Books. ' Swift was on the losing side; but that does not affect the extraordinary wit and clever- ness of his contribution to the controversy. Another * h...ighly respectable name ' is that of Fielding's friend and 173 Eighteenth Century Studies patron, George, Lord Lyttelton, who for all that he was mercilessly pilloried by Smollett as Gosling Scrag in his own day, and has been unanswerably identified in ours with the ' respectable Hottentot ' of Chesterfield, was more like a literary man than any of his peers. His ' Dialogues of the Dead ' — ' Dead Dialogues, ' Walpole profanely called them — still yield a faded pleasure to the reader in Harrison's ' British Essayists, ' though it is to be feared that his ' History of Henry the Second, ' despite the compliment paid to it by a recent historian, is not often consulted by our latter-day Stubbses and Gardiners.
