What reading level is Lectures On Dramatic Art And Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In those which possess a great number ofhomonymes, that is, words possessing the same, or nearly the same, sound, though quite different in their derivation and signification, it isalmost more difficult to avoid, than to fall on such a verbal play. Ithas, however, been feared, lest a door might be opened to puerilewitticism, if they were not rigorously proscribed. But I cannot, for mypart, find that Shakspeare had such an invincible and immoderate passionfor this verbal witticism. It is true, h...e sometimes makes a most lavishuse of this figure; at others, he has employed it very sparingly; and attimes (for example, in _Macbeth_), I do not believe a vestige of itis to be found. Hence, in respect to the use or the rejection of the playupon words, he must have been guided by the measure of the objects, andthe different style in which they required to be treated, and probablyhave followed here, as in every thing else, principles which, fairlyexamined, will bear a strict examination.
The objection that Shakspeare wounds our feelings by the open display ofthe most disgusting moral odiousness, unmercifully harrows up the mind, and tortures even our eyes by the exhibition of the most insupportable andhateful spectacles, is one of greater and graver importance.
