What reading level is Essays On Modern Novelists book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We think of Trollope with a glow of reminiscent delight ; but although Trollope and Mrs. Ward talk endlessly on much the same range of subject-matter, how far apart they really are ! Mrs. Ward's books are crammed with politicians and clergymen, who keep the patient reader informed on modern aspects of political and religious thought; but the difficulty is that they substitute phrases for ideas. Mrs.
Ward knows all the political and religious cant of the day; she is familiar with the catch-words... that divide men into hostile camps ; but in all these dreary pages of serious conversation there is no real illumi- nation. She completely lacks the art that Trollope possessed, of making ordinary people attractive.
200 MRS. HUMPHRY WARD But to find out the real distance that separates her productions from literature, one should read, let us say, The Marriage of William Ashe and then take up Pride and Prejudice. The novels of Mrs. Ward bear about the same relation to first-class fiction that maps and atlases bear to great paintings.
