What reading level is History of American Verse (1610-1897) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In such pieces as " The Deserted Road " and " The Closing Scene," Read's genuine Americanism is ap- parent, but where the poet's efforts at nationalism are more forced, as in the long poems, " The New Pas- toral," and "The Wagoner of the AUeghanies, " the result is far from satisfactory. A love of nature, patriotism, and chivalric respect for womanhood are the most obvious traits of Read's Americanism. "The Brave at Home," one of the lyrics interspersed through- out " The Wagoner of the AUeghan...ies," inspired count- less imitations, none of which approached the original in its combination of beauty and simplicity.
"Sheridan's Ride" is a spirited rendering of a pic- turesque incident of the Civil War. Like all good efforts of its kind, it has suffered more or less from ambitious declaimers. But that is no fault of the poem itself. The lyric, "Drifting," shows the work of both poet and artist, but in all the true essentials of lyric verse, "The Celestial Army" is easily first of all of Read's poems.
