What reading level is Modern English Literature From Chaucer to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There orthodox classicism still held sway: the manner and metre of Pope or Thomson ruled the roost of singing fowl. In the main it had done its work, and the bulk of fresh things conceived in it were dull and imitative, even though occasionally, as in the poems of Johnson himself and of Gold- smith, an author arose who was able to infuse sincerity and emotion into a fast-dying convention. The classic manner now more that of Thomson than of Pope persisted till it overlapped roman- ticism ; Cowpe...r and Crabbe each owe a doubtful allegiance, leaning by their formal metre and level monotony of thought to the one and by their realism to the other. In the meantime its popu- larity and its assured position were beginning to be assailed in the coteries by the work of two new poets.
The output of Thomas Gray and William Collins was small ; you might almost read the complete poetical works of either in an evening. But for all that they mark a period; they are the first definite break with the classic convention which had been triumphant for upwards of seventy years when their prime came.
