What reading level is Lives of Great English Writers From Chaucer to Browning book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shelley's mother left the boy an inheritance of her great beauty ; the immediate attention of aU was attracted by his slender frame, deep blue eyes, ruddy complexion, and curling golden brown hair. This boyish appear- ance he retained all through life, even though his hair turned prematurely gray. Trelawny describes him at their first meeting, only two years before Shelley's death, as " blushing like a girl." Shy, impulsive, and enthusiastic for studies not in the curriculum, Shelley did not ge...t along well at school.
After two years at Sion House Academy, Isleworth, he was sent, when twelve years old, to Eton. Among his fellows he was conspicuously abnormal. He delighted not in their sports, his shyness precluded companionship except with one or two, and his independent nature rebelled openly against the system of fagging. " Mad Shelley," the boys dubbed him ; he was " surrounded," says one of his schoolfellows, "hooted, baited like a maddened bull." Yet he was preparing himself in his own way — by private reading and experiments in sci- ence, forbidden as a dangerous study for the young.
