What reading level is Literary Leaders of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" This is the address described by Lowell as " our intellectual Declaration of Independ ence. " Read to-day, it calls like a clarion to the native youth to believe in country, in its aims and potentialities, and to believe in himself as a possible helper of country. It is also a noble defense of the life intellectual and its sore need in such a land as ours.
It would be a mistake to think of Emerson as if his essays were entirely devoted to a study of the oversoul, soaring in the superior regio...ns of abstract philosophy. Plenty of his themes are homely, direct, practical : upon love, con versation, manners, conduct, experience. The reader, too, should beware of the shallow criticism that, after reading one such essay, it is hard to say just what it is about, to draw a diagram of its course. Emerson s writings are not primarily intellectual, ratiocinative ; he speaks from and to the spirit. His value is in the way of stimulation, sugges tion ; after reading a typical essay of his the whole nature is clarified and attuned to a higher plain of living.
