What reading level is Great American Writers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is no doubt true that human nature in Concord would be much like hiunan nature in Athens, yet there is a differ- ence between the Transcendentalist attitude which vigorously asserted the equality of Concord, and the equanimity of Socrates which assimied Athens without discussion.
The Athenian, living in the best world he knew, did not think to defend it; the Tran- scendentalist, realizing larger and older civilizations beyond the village borders, yet set up the village by way of challenge to... the world. To recognize this at the outset need not diminish any true admiration for Emer- son's greatness or Thoreau's, and the admis- sion will perhaps prepare for an explanation of the Transcendental incongruities of religion and philosophy.
The chief of the Transcendentalists was Ralph Waldo Emerson, bom in Boston, May 25, 1803. His father, William Emerson, was a distinguished clergyman in the city, as his grandfather also had been in Concord.
By all the family traditions he was dedicated to the pulpit from his birth.
