What reading level is Elements of Literary Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In consequence he falls far be- low Milton and Shakespeare in the richness of his adjectives, and below Keats, whose imagina- tion was more sensuous and luxuriant, and who apparently took more delight in color in nature 212 ELEMENTS OF LITERARY CRITICISM than Wordsworth did, though perhaps no more in form and light and shade. In fact, the passion for beauty of color and rich texture seems to be quite distinct from the love of beauty of out- line and motion, though both may coexist in the same p...erson in almost any proportions. It would seem, too, as if the austere love of moral truth were more harmonious with the latter than with the former. Light, rather than color, character- izes the passion for righteousness, which is the noblest characteristic of man. In Wordsworth we see an insensibility to one phase of the beau- tiful combined with the austere self-esteem and rigid ethics of the Puritan. And these charac- teristics can be traced in the minutiae of his phrasing. Keats is the best instance of poetic imagination of the more sensuous and luxuriant kind.
