What reading level is French Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Zola was the complement of Darwin. The mania for cataloguing individuals and phenomena seized upon writers and painters alike. The grave folly of exactitude was to find its most impudent illustration in Huysmans, who transcribed the catalogues of perfumers and paper-makers.
" Often, " said Plato on a notable occasion, " I have been troubled with the thought that what is true of certain things must be true of all. " The thought that troubled Plato is the axiom of the modern speculation that pose...s as science. Data statistics documents ; an entire generation wasted its energies in picking up these coriander seeds. It was inevitable that the revolt should come. It was a revolt not against the conclusions of the scientists, but against the scientific method in art. The young thinkers took refuge in neo-pagan- ism, in Buddhism, in egoism, in Satanism, in arid dreams of art for art and more futile dreams of art as a social redeemer ; and each new movement was but a revolt against aesthetic realism and a fierce cru- sade for the ideal.
