What reading level is English Literature And Society in the Eighteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Alexander Selkirk had very little to tell about his remarkableexperience; and so Defoe, instead of confining himself like the ordinaryinterviewer to facts, proceeded to tell a most circumstantial andelaborate lie--for which we are all grateful. He was doing far more thanhe meant. Defoe, as the most thorough type of the English class towhich he belonged, could not do otherwise than make his creation aperfect embodiment of his own qualities. _Robinson Crusoe_ became, weknow, a favourite of Rousse...au, and has supplied innumerableillustrations to writers on Political Economy. One reason is that Crusoeis the very incarnation of individualism: thrown entirely upon his ownresources, he takes the position with indomitable pluck; adapts himselfto the inevitable as quietly and sturdily as may be; makes himselfthoroughly at home in a desert island, and, as soon as he meets anative, summarily annexes him, and makes him thoroughly useful. He comesup smiling after many years as if he had been all the time in a shop inCheapside without a hair turned.
