What reading level is Literary Types Being Essays in Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless, contempt is a dangerous element to sport in ; a deadly one, if we habitually live in it. " To suit Carlyle's standard of rectitude and usef ul- ness, Voltaire was, not earnest enough ; he was merely " one of the best politicians on record the adroitest of all literary men. " The essay on Diderot is a masterpiece. From the pen- stroke which shows us the town of Langres, where the encyclopaedist was born, with its fifteen thousand inhabitants, "mostly employed in grinding knives, " ...to the words which tell of his quiet though lingering death in July, 1784, the whole paper is an 82 LITERARY TYPES.
elaborate review of the man's life and work, in which we learn more of the causes of the French Revolution, than we can glean from most books written for that very purpose. Diderot was not so much a sceptic as a Denier, according to Car- lyle's formulation of phrase, and this is certainly only too apparent in his works, which are all more or less polemical. He treated of all things, and most things well, whether it be the novel, the drama, or criticism; and in " Le Neveu de Rameau, " in " Pere de Famille, " or in the " Salons, " we find proof that he was, as Carlyle justly says, "gifted by Nature for an artist ; '' " for strangely flashing through his mechanical encumbrances are rays of thought, which belong to the poet, to the pro- phet.
