What reading level is Preface to Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this state they remained, not as Dr. Warburton supposes, because they were unregarded, but because the editor's art was notyet applied to modern languages, and our ancestors were accustomedto so much negligence of English printers, that they could verypatiently endure it. At last an edition was undertaken by Rowe;not because a poet was to be published by a poet, for Rowe seemsto have thought very little on correction or explanation, but thatour authour's works might appear like those of his ...fraternity, withthe appendages of a life and recommendatory preface. Rowe has beenclamorously blamed for not performing what he did not undertake, and it is time that justice be done him, by confessing, that thoughhe seems to have had no thought of corruption beyond the printer'serrours, yet he has made many emendations, if they were not madebefore, which his successors have received without acknowledgment, and which, if they had produced them, would have filled pagesand pages with censures of the stupidity by which the faults werecommitted, with displays of the absurdities which they involved, withostentatious exposition of the new reading, and self congratulationson the happiness of discovering it.
