To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And Shakespeare's genius may be well compared (and possibly the comparison is not new) to a Gothic cathedral, vast, grand, and solemn in its general SHAKESPEARE'S GENIUS.
303 aspect, and single in its total impression, yet on closer view seen to bear the stamp of various pe- riods, and to be filled with airy, light, upspringing columns, and minutely decorated with delicate tra- cery, and grotesque, humorous, and even indeco- rous details, correspondent to each other, yet all unlike though seemi...ng like, and, to an eye capable of the great whole, blending into rich harmony.
There are these three, — Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare. And these three have pre-eminence in right of their imaginations. Homer saw with placid mental eye the people and the deeds that he describes, as clearly as if they had passed be- fore him in the flesh; Astyanax shrinking from his father's flashing helm and threatening crest ; Hector striding across the battle-field, his huge shield rattling, as he walked, against his neck and ankles ; the opposing hosts, assembled upon the plain, whose swaying spears and waving plumes, seen from afar, showed dark broad ripples, like cat's-paws on the water.
