What reading level is Reflections On the Character of Madame Thrale Piozzi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Johnson and Fanny Burney published a few years ago sorted out and edited brilliantly all that related to the old Lexicographer.
Little Burney saw the Doctor in another light than his great biographer. Boswell knew that it was so and sought to secure from her material for his immortal work, but Fanny would not hear of it. She preferred to use it herself: so it was that the world had to wait until the middle of the nineteenth century before the portrait of Johnson was entirely complete.
But of re...cent years we have begun to view with suspicion biographical or editorial work done fifty or eighty years ago, especially if that work was undertaken by a member of the family. The letters of Boswell to Temple, first published in 1857, is a case in point. They were edited (?) out of all recognition anonymously and are soon to be published in all their naughtiness, with many others, not to Temple, by the aforesaid Tinker. Scholars have much discussed this editorial method, now rapidly passing; and so it happened that when last summer an opportunity was afforded me of purchasing a fragment of the manuscript of Fanny's Diary, I bought it with ill-disguised eagerness in order that I might com- pare the original manuscript with the printed book.
