What reading level is Nineteenth Century Teachers And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Human character is a many-sided thing, and every true description of a human being must be full of apparent contradictions. We do not think Carlyle was especially so ; his inconsistencies were all lighted up by genius, but he was about as consistent as most people. And yet we have to say of this fierce hater of democracy that he was its prophet and singer. He, who had no sympathy with liberty, has bequeathed us, as his most characteiistic work, what may be called a sort of imperfect trilogy (th...e first part being wanting) of the great drama of the modern Revolution, of which Liberty became the watchword. Even in the very expression, of his sympathy, however, we discern its sharp limitation. The two periods lit up by the flash — the Puritan uprising in the middle of the seventeenth century, and the still greater Revolution which closed the eighteenth — are both succeeded by sudden dimness. When Whiggism replaced Puritanism he could only sneer at 'the beautiful Revolution of 'eighty-eight ' which steps over the bodies of dead heroes filling the trench ' in official pumps and silk stockings and universal three times three.
