What reading level is George Meredith in Anecdote And Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, The idea which the writer wished to convey was, I suppose, that a woman so entirely given up to the liberation of her native land as Emilia, or Vittoria, is conceived to have been must forego the happi- 2o8 GEORGE MEREDITH ness of a genuine and complete union with any man. She destroyed the careers of her two Enghsh devotees, for the sake of Italy ; but when she married Count Carlo she also sacrificed herself, because it turned out that her husband and herself were not wholly in unison, and t...hat he did not trust her even in conspiracies for Italian free- dom. Because he did not trust her, he lost his life in a futile revolt, and she was left to mourn him inconsolably. The lesson seems to be : For freedom and country everything must be sacrificed, even the love and the hopes of all individual patriots.
But if this be the meaning of these two novels, it surely might have been conveyed in much less space than Mr. Meredith has used. And he has filled the space, to the very horizon, with such a cloud of characters and so bewildering a mist of universal talkativeness that it is hard work to extract even this much of meaning from the thousand pages which are appropriated to the chosen theme.
