What reading level is Longfellow And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This confusion is enhanced by mis- takes made in consequence, it would appear, of lapses of memory. Worse still at times seems the mixture of ideal and of realistic elements — of allegory intended to elevate the souls of men and of allegory devised to flatter Elizabeth, Leicester, and Lord Grey of Wilton. Combats of knightly heroes with dragons and proud Paynim foes do not well harmonize with thinly veiled descriptions of actual combats waged by Henry IV. And Philip IL, much less with a partisa...n impeachment of Mary Queen of Scots and a grotesquely falsified version of Leices- ter's campaign in the Low Countries. Yet, when all deductions have been made, it seems not impossible to forget that one is reading an alle- gory, and to interest one's self in the fortunes of nearly all Spenser's characters, even if one does not quite hold one's breath when a dragon or some other monster gets a hero-knight into a decidedly uncomfortable predicament.
Yet why dwell on this matter of interest when " The Faerie Queene " has so much that is higher and better to yield us?
