What reading level is Essays On the Drama. 2d Series book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His friend and warm admirer, Sir Walter Scott, in his admirable review of Boaden's ' Life of Kemble,' admits this much, and finds it not amiss to remind the playgoers of that day of the principle by which the treatment of such details ought to be regulated.
"The muse of painting,'' he saya, "should be on the stage the handmaid, not the rival, of her sister of the drama. Each art should retain its due preponderance within its own proper region.
Let the scenery be as well painted, and made as imp...ressiTe, as a moderate-sized stage will afford ; but when the roof is raised to give the scene-painter room to pile Pelion upon Ossa ; when the stage is widened that his forests may be extended or deepened, that his oceans may flow in space apparently interminable, — the manager who commands these decorations is leaving his proper duty, and altering entirely the purpose of the stage." Again, in the same essay, while admitting that the use of "dresses suited to the time and country, and of landscape and architecture equally coherent," must be of advantage, Scott qualifies his admission by insisting " that this part of the theatrical business shall be kept in due subordination to that which is strictly dramatic.
