What reading level is George Eliot's Poetry, And Other Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Does history hold a hero for us ? Let us love him boundlessly, but wisely ; if we praise him, let our praise be abundant but understanding, as was Heine's, when he says, in explana- tion of seeming to praise Bonaparte in praising his dieeds, " I never praise the dead, but the human soul whose gar- ment the deed is, and history is nothing but the soul's old wardrobe. ' ' I would study history that I may be wise — wise with a sympathetic wisdom born of much and reverent con- tact with my brother ...and sister humanity.
"Knowledge oomes, but wisdom lingers, and we linger on tlie shore ; And the individual withers, and the world is more and more." I would study history rightly that my knowledge may be fused with wisdom. I would stand among the men and women of the past in order that I may stand among the men and women of the present — an individual ; not caught, and absorbed, and lost in the great world-current, for " wis- dom lingers !" And, in the second place, I would study history in order to make my standing firmer in religions faith.
