What reading level is Prophets of the Nineteenth Century Carlyle Ruskin Tolstoi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" All great architecture is the exponent of national virtue, and all debased architecture the exponent of national vice and shame. " In the chapter " On the Nature of the Grothic, " he empha- sized the idea that art can only be produced by artists ; that archi- tecture, in so far as it is an art, does not mean the carrying out, by igno- rant workmen, of the plans of an architect; that the reign of art can never come until artists are workmen, and workmen artists. When the Working-men's College ...was started, this chapter was printed as a tract and distributed to the members. It was also adopted as a text by that artist workman of a later day, William Morris.
105 Prophets of the 1 9th Century Ruskin had been for twenty years writing unweariedly on art. He had made the public accept his views. He was acknowledged as the first art critic in England. He was the dictator of public taste. His word could make or mar the reputation of an artist. His annual reviews of the works exhibited in the Royal Academy were anxiously waited for and greedily devoured.
