What reading level is History As Literature, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Browning the philosopher is not more deep than many other philosophers, and in form and expres- sion he is inferior to many poets. But he is a phi- losopher, and he has form and expression. The philosophy he writes is literature, even though hardly in the highest sense poetic literature.
Therefore he appeals to men who are primarily interested in his writings as philosophy, but who do derive a certain pleasure from form or expres- sion; who, without being conscious of it, do like to have the wr...itings they read resemble literature.
These men are given by Browning something that no other poet and no other philosopher can give them; and I do not think that these men receive full justice at Mr. Lounsbury's hands.
Moreover, as compared to Tennyson or Longfel- low,, or any other of the more conventional poets — and I am extremely fond of these conventional poets — :there is far more in Browning, even m Browning's simpler and more tmderstandable and PRODUCTIVE SCHOLARSHIP 213 formal poems, that gives expression to certain deep and complex emotions.
