What reading level is Landscape in History And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The outer world seems to lie far beyond the high hills that enclose and shelter the quiet valley. There is a deep silence over the scene, broken now and then by the melancholy scream of the curlew or the mournful note of the plover. The mind, amid such surroundings, easily glides from the present into reverie amidst the past. The ruined peel seems to whisper tales of * old unhappy far-off things and battles long ago. ' The greener grass around some mouldering stones points to hamlets long since... for- saken and forgotten. The scattered birks and alders recall the ' fair forest ' that once clothed the valley with ' many a seemly tree, ' and when in these tracts, now sacred only to sheep, there were ' Hart and hynd, and dae and rae, And of a' wild beasts great plentie. ' There is a natural expectation in the mind that scenery which has made for itself so notable a place no LANDSCAPE AND LITERATURE in the history of English poetry should present, when first seen, some special charm of attractive beauty.
