What reading level is Essays in Imitation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am obstinately precise in my statements. My speech is rude ; I can say no more than I mean. I profess myself a disciple of Cor- IN MEMORY OF MR. COLLINS 131 delia. I will have no extravagance upon my conscience. I am content to be a churl if I can but be sure of my sincerity.
My acquaintance are for the most part more chivalrous than myself. They shrink from giving pain. They would sooner wound a sensitive conscience than a sensi- tive woman. They express themselves as the occasion requires. ...They pay their debts to the uttermost farthing and suppose the proper discount made for depreciation of coinage. But I am disposed to think women the more dangerous in the matter. They devise as many fine distinctions and pro- found subtleties as the school-men. I have seen them sitting together and solemnly debating what they call ' the truth and politeness question ' with as much adroit casuistry as a conclave of old-world Jesuits. They will clear their consciences by assev- erating that they meant what they wrote at the moment, and will very conveniently forget that they were meaning to mean it the moment before.
