What reading level is Glimpses of Authors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Soon after this he accepted the position of teacher of English in a west-coast town and retired completely from public cognizance. He lived among the Japanese, wore their garb, ate their food, and studied their language with the same faithfulness that he had previously shown in his study of other languages; and eventually he married a Japanese woman. In 1896 he was appointed to the chair of English Litera- ture at the Imperial University of Tokio, and one learns best from the lips of appreciati...ve Japanese scholars how thoroughly he had absorbed the spirit of Japan, its customs and literature. Subsequently he became a naturalized Japanese subject, under the name of Yakuma Koizumi, and avoided all inter- course with visitors who came to Japan, his friendly association with Edward H. House and Professor Fenollosa proving almost the only exceptions to this rule.
For a while Hearn occasionally joined the intel- lectual circle that met at the home of Mr. House, but after a little he withdrew even from this social intercourse, and, when questioned, explained that he enjoyed himself too much to come any more.
