What reading level is Makers of American Literature; a Class-Book On American Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whittier^s patriotic poetry was a notable element of his contemporaneous popularity. His verse was nothing if not patriotic. In this aspect of his muse he is unapproached. To be sure, this species of poetry is not the highest type, but it appeals mightily to the affections of the people, who naturally have a warm spot in their heart for such a singer. The cause which inspired most of Whit- tier's patriotic poetry lay very near his heart and was with him a passion as well as a purpose. When he a...ttuned his lyre to the theme of home and country, he poured out his heart in impassioned song. But much of his patriotic verse had as its theme the anti-slavery agitation, and that is now a thing of the past, as is most of the poetry which it called forth. This class of poetry is designated by the critics as "occasional" and lacks, for the most part, those qualities that make for permanence and immortality. No portion of Whittier's poetry now seems more flat and jejune than his miscellaneous poems which had their raison d' etre in the anti- slavery agitation; and there are but few grains of JOHN GEEBNLEAP WHITTIBB 311 gold in this profusion of dross.
