What reading level is James Russell Lowell As a Critic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
172 LOWELL AS A CRITIC penetration have triumphed over such conserva- tism and proclaimed a merit even though but few eyes had already perceived it?
One more phase of Lowell's lack of penetration remains to be noted. In discussing the Eliza- bethan dramatists, he says: ''To some of them we cannot deny genius, but creative genius we must deny to all of them, and dramatic genius as well." ' This seems a surprising statement when one re- calls The Silent Woman, New Way to Pay Old Debts, and The Ma...id's Tragedy, to name no more.
But Lowell's attitude is not difficult to imderstand.
The Elizabethan dramatists, he assures us, are *'the best comment ... to convince us of the immeasurable superiority of Shakespeare."^ It has already been pointed out that Lowell's atti- tude towards Shakespeare is one of admiration to which no laudation seems extravagant. He is the "miracle of Stratford," and in the process of his apotheosis, ''creative genius" and "dramatic genius" must be held as the sacred possession of him alone.
