What reading level is Flashes of London And Other Reflections book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has become a holiday resort. Still it gains strength and alters and flows on ; but its waters are gradually sullying. Until its widening sides are soiled with grime, and the beginnings of the city's greyness show in a thickening fringe of little houses and chimneyed factories and a ragged dreariness of muddied slums. Then it arrives at that which gives it fame — the paved confinement of a city's waterway.
Thus from the clean, sweet quiet of the land it comes to the Big Grey City of the Great... Unrest ; and in its coming the simple charm and freshness of it disappear.
But with its confinement it gains mystery and 124 THE RIVER dignity and a beauty of its own. For though its rippHng waters have become a turgid flood, dis- coloured and sHthering between dead boundaries of brick and stone, and though the fat flatness of its breezy meads have altered to packed areas of smoke and fierce activity, its power to fascinate remains. Only the spell has changed.
For one big, sweeping curve, confusions of packed contours pile up on the double confines of its course, with jagged outlines and conflicting shapes and angles that jut out prominently and overlap and merge and finally fade away to a harmonious irregularity against the sky.
