What reading level is Lafcadio Hearn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reading these letters con- taining a record of the manner in which he goes to work, writing and re-writing until the thought re-shaped itself and the style was polished and fixed, we can see how high he pitched his ideal and how unlikely it was that others would reach the same standard.
In one letter, written in the fifty-third year of his age, to Professor Chamberlain, after thirty years of literary work, he, one of the most finished masters of English prose, confesses to drudgery worthy of hi...s boyish days, when plodding over an English composi- tion at Ushaw College.
He recommended Roget's Thesaurus to a young author who asked his advice; Skeat's Dictionary, too, and Brachet for French, as books that give the subtle sense of words, to which much that arrests attention in prose and poetry are due. The consciousness of art gives a new faith, he says, after one of these passages of good advice. Putting jesting on one side, he believed that if he could create something he knew to be sublime he would feel that the Unknown Power had selected 138 LAFCADTO HEARN him for a medium of utterance, in the holy cycle of its eternal purpose.
