What reading level is Eton in the Seventies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Browning had dealt a severe blow to the intellectual life of the place, for the simple reason that it was natural to him to seek the society of intelligent boys, and to talk to them on terms of equality about the things which interested him. No one ever attempted the same thing on the same scale, or with the same socratic enthusiasm. He encouraged shy boys to discuss bigger ideas, he put books in their way, and, best of all, he loved and practised leisurely talk. The same thing had been done be...fore by William Johnson, who had an almost greater inspiration, and a similar power of meeting boys on perfectly equal terms gifts which may be developed, but can hardly be imitated. "I do not think that the effect of the Literary Society when I belonged to it was of very much account. We were some of us encouraged to write papers the only essays, I regret to say, that I ever had to write at school ; but the discussions were formal and timid, and the tone was respectful, rather than enthusiastic.
