What reading level is Life, Art And America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is bewildered by a world that will not play Pyramus his way. Quince, Snug, Flute, Snout, and Starveling (all those who came over with him in the Mayflower) agree that he is a great actor, but there are others, and Bottom is convinced that these others are in error — trying to wreck that dream, the American Con- stitution, which brought this "exposition of sleep" upon him and made him into a lion — "marvelous furry about the face" and with great ears.
Alas, alas 1 for art in America. It has a... hard, stubby row to hoe.
But my quarrel is not with America as a comfortable in- dustrious atmosphere in which to move and have one's being, but largely because it is no more than that — because it tends to become a dull, conventionalized, routine, material world, duller even that its reputed mother, sacred England. We are drifting, unless most of the visible signs are deceiving, into the clutches of a commercial oligarchy whose mental stand- ards outside of trade are so puerile as to be scarcely worth discussing.
