What reading level is John Greenleaf Whittier : a Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Truth naked is stronger than Falsehood in mail — The Wrong cannot prosper, the Right cannot fail I Like leaves of the summer once numbered the foe, But the hoar-frost is faUing, the northern winds blow ; Like leaves of November ere long shall they fall.
For earth wearies of them, and God 's over all !
What other conflict for human rights was ever enlivened by such thrilling odes, such glowing appeals to conscience, honor, and valor? Long- fellow and Bryant had given their timely efforts and the... weight of their great names to the cause of freedom ; Lowell had employed all the resources of wit and sarcasm, and made the heads of the North keep time to his Yankee lyrics ; but Whittier appeared to live for no other purpose than to sound the solemn call to duty at each new juncture.
What an ease and affluence of melody in these swiftly moving .verses ! Never a thought maimed by its measure nor jostled out of place by a rhyme ! The shuttle flies and returns, and the growing lines close up, — even, uniform, firm, and imperishable.
