What reading level is Lectures On the British Poets book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is easy, we are aware, to weave theories, and, upon this subject, to extract much plausibility from the fact of the singular fusing of the European and Saracenic races together in the South of Europe during a part of the Middle Ages. History presents, probably, no more extraordinary instance of the kind than the intermingling of three distinct races in a very limited territory at tlie time of the Norman establishment in Sicily : there was the remnant of the old Sicilian race — ■ tlieir conqu...erors, the Arabs — and the final victor, the Norman. Well might their music blend together, where they were girt in by the ocean in this little plot. In all diffidence we offer our fancy — we will not dignify it with the title of theory — that one graft was brought by tlie Arab from the East, . And another from the region of the Goth, and that these grew into one growth under the genial influence of an Italian or Sicilian sun.
