What reading level is George Eliot book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is one of the most distinctive notes of George Eliot's art, and gives a quickening, fructifying quality to her moral teaching. But it is an artistic no less than a moral gain, sharpening the interest felt in the evolution of her fictitious personages. For this reason Tito, the creature of circumstances, is perhaps the most striking of all her characters in the eyes of the psychologist. We seem to see the very pulse of the human machine laid bare, to see the corroding effect of self-indulge...nce and dread of pain on a nature not intrinsically wicked, to see at last how, little by little, weakness has led to falsehood, and falsehood to- infamy. And yet this creature, who, under our eyes, gradually hardens into crime, is one so richly dowered with rare gifts of person and mind, that in spite of his moral degeneracy, he fascinates the reader no less than the men and women supposed to come into- actual contact with him. His beauty is described with the same life-like intensity as Hetty's : the warm glow of colour in his perfectly-moulded face, with its dark curls and long agate-like eyes ; his sunny brightness of look, the velvet softness of a manner with which he ingratiates himself with young and old, and the airy buoyancy of his whole gracious being, are as vividly portrayed as the quick talent to which everything comes natural, the abun- dant good-humour, the acuteness of a polished intel- lect, whose sharp edge, will, at need, cut relentlessly through every tissue of sentiment.
