What reading level is Landscape in Poetry From Homer to Tennyson With Many Illustrative Examples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
See how the little runnels leap. In threads of silver, down the steep, To swell the brooklet's moan ! Seems that the Highland Naiad grieves, Fantastic while her crown she weaves Of rowan, birch, and alder leaves, So lovely, and so lone.^ These words are placed in the mouth of a lover as he leads his bride through her new domain. With what fine taste has Scott — the earliest and still the most romantic of our romantic poets — here thrown in the little classical allusion ! What a grace, also, let... me add, does this echo from the old world impart !
Scott, after Chaucer, is the one of all our non-dramatic poets who puts himself least forward ; one of the few who thought little or nothing, personally, of themselves ; the one who trusts most to letting his characters and scenes speak for themselves. By inevitable natural law he is indeed, of course, present in his work ; but, like Homer, like Shakespeare, behind the curtain ; latent in his own creation. Lord Byron ( 1 788-1824), all know, is here Scott's direct antithesis.
