What reading level is Max Beerbohm in Perspective book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
105 Self-cabicatures.
Ma4e by Max Beerbohm when at Charterhouse.
THE CARICATURES OF MAX We turn now to our own periodicals, and we find that what are commonly called cartoons and caricatures are in the popular imagination interchangeable terms.
Any representation of a group of individuals, whether actual or imaginary, whether for polemic or political or merely humorous intention is liable to be called a " cartoon," whilst the tendency is to describe any " ludicrous representation " of a single ...person as a " caricature." For this purpose the public generally demands a little body and a large head, which shall be as nearly as possible a portrait with some laughable quality about it. How many " caricatures " have we seen, for instance, of the late President Roosevelt with that huge conventional head ? Max, on the other hand, drew him with a mountainous body, with stupendous hands, and — a tiny head. For that was, so to put it, the gist of him to Max. Certainly he has drawn far more people with big heads and little bodies, but then he has more often chosen people who in life have big heads.
