What reading level is Essays of Joseph Addison; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As landmarks in the intellec- tual history of Englishmen such papers as those on Paradise Lost and Gfeev^^Chase will always have their value. In reading them we cannot but feel how far Addison was in advance of the critical feeling of his age, by what a surprising effort he rose above its canons of judgment, with what a freshness of mind he felt forward towards a world of poetic feeling which he never was fated absolutely to touch. But here again the interest of such papers is historical INTROD...UCTION. XIX rather than Hterary. As an actual criticism of litera- ture this work has become dead to us ; no one of our day, I suppose, ever got help towards a right judgment of Chevy Chase or Paradise Lost from Addison's essays on them. In this little book therefore I have given no selec- tions from Addison's political or critical essays, even though this rule forced me to omit such an exquisite bit of writing as his character of Lord Somers. My aim has been to give what was still living in his work, and, whatever their interest may be to readers of tastes like my own, I feel that to the bulk of readers his politics and his criticisms are dead.
