What reading level is Ponkapog Papers: a Sea Turn, And Other Matters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Dr. Grosart assumes that Herrick kept the epig^rams and personal tributes in manuscript books separate from the rest of the work, which would have made a too slender volume by itself, and on the plea of this slender- ness was induced to trust the two collections to the publisher, "whereupon he or some un- skilled subordinate proceeded to intermix these additions with the others. That the poet him- self had nothing to do with the arrangement or disarrangement lies on the surface." This is an ami...able supposition, but merely a supposition.
Herrick personally placed the " copy " in the hands of John Williams and Francis Eglesfield, and if he were over-persuaded to allow them to print unfit verses, and to observe no method whatever in the contents of the book, the dis- credit is none the less his. It is charitable to believe that Herrick's coarseness was not the coarseness of the man, but of the time, and that he followed the fashion malgri lui. With re- gard to the fairy poems, they certainly should have been given in sequence ; but if there are careless printers, there are also authors who are careless in the arrangement of their manuscript, a kind of task, moreover, in which Herrick was wholly unpracticed, and might easily have made 128 PONKAPOG PAPERS mistakes.
