What reading level is Life of Frances Power Cobbe volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let them remember that a hus- band who had beaten and wronged his wife in every possible way could yet force her by law to live with him and become the mother of his children. Person- ally and most fortunately (for I know not of what crime I might not have been guilty if so tried !) I never had cause of complaint on the score of injustice or un- kindness from any of the men with whom I had to do. But the knowledge, when it came to me, of the legal- ized oppressions under which other women groan...ed, lay heavy on my mind. I was not, however, in those early days, interested in politics or large social reforms ; and IRELAND IN THE FORTIES. 155 did not covet the political franchise, finding in my manifold duties and studies over-abundant outlets for my energies.
Another difference between the first and latter half of the century is, I think, the far greater simplicity of character of the older generation. No doubt there were, at the time of which I write, many fine and sub- tle minds at work among the poets, philosophers, and statesmen of the day ; but ordinary ladies and gentle- men, even clever and well-educated ones, would, I think, if they could revive now, seem to us rather like our boys and girls than our grandparents.
