What reading level is Modern English Essays volume 5 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For culture, like a moun- tain, should be broad-based if it is to rise to a lofty 179 EDMOND G. A. HOLMES height; but, according to the theory which I am examining, it is of the essence of culture that it should have a narrow base, that it should be an EifFel Tower or a sky-scraper, not a Mont Blanc. The great mountain, as Ruskin has well said, lifts the lowlands on to its sides. It is only by hfting the lowlands, by using them as the lower courses of its own structure, that it has been able to... rise so high above them. The Eiffel Tower spurned the lowlands. It tried to take a short cut to heaven. But because it had made no attempt to identify itself with the lowlands or to incorporate them in its own structure, it failed ignominiously and had to be cut off, lest it should topple over, when it had reached the level of one of the humblest of Nature's hills. An eminent musician once told me that the folk songs, the songs of the people, are the lifted lowlands out of which the great creations of musical genius soar up to the sky.
