What reading level is Oxford English Prize Essays volume 4 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There can be no doubt that the facility of imita- tion is much greater when the incidents proper for fiction are of daily occurrence. Writers in rude times have only to look into the world to find events of the most poetical description, while those of refined ages must explore antiquity for their circumstances, and always be liable to the accusation of improbability. The case is much the same in other arts. Utility and beauty, when in their perfection, are seldom found to be com- patible. Repr...esentations of poverty, and even of want, whether in poetry or painting, are more likely to be beautiful, than the unpicturesquc regularity of comfort and convenience.
The fiction of incident, therefore, appears to be likely to attain to its greatest perfection in rude ages ; that of character, on the contrary, requires a considerable progress in refinement. This is, in the first place, clearly proved by the history of fiction ; for although there may be some appearances of exception, yet, on the whole, it is evident that the first productions of imagina- tion have been those of mere incident, and that character has only been studied after incident has been partially exhausted.
