What reading level is Incense & Iconoclasm; Studies in Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the aim of tragedy is to produce pleasure by the display of great forces warring against restraint, the business of comedy is to give happiness by the 131 132 On Comedy show of unfettered freedom. It is like the Roman Saturnalia, and in it we slaves of nature or of each other may fling our chains away and flout our masters and defy our fate. The comedy of Aris- tophanes turns the world upside down, sets low what is high and high what is low. The comedy of Menander, Terence, and Plautus mocks... all the settled order and proverbial wisdom of Hfe. It apotheosizes the spendthrift and the thievish servant and the girl of easy virtue. Goldsmith and Sheridan make animal spirits and a happy-go- lucky disposition the choicest gifts of Fate. At Moli^re's command all men drop their masks, and their pretensions and solemn absurdities shrivel in his flickering smile. Shakespeare alone, from the dark materials of the earth, builds a place of refuge and escape, — reveals the vision of a sweeter, merrier world.
