What reading level is Robert Burns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Whether, with his limited knowledge of stage details, Burns could have written a successful Scottish play, may be doubted. His possession of even an adequate dramatic instinct has been questioned ; but that in some respects he knew his own strong points is shown by his intention to make a special study of the French comic authors ; and it is very certain that his experiments in comedy would not have been lacking in at least true wit and humour.
But the letter to Hill is now of moment mainly f...or its testimony as to the thoroughgoing con- ceptions entertained by Burns of his art, and the strenuous study which he deemed essential to the serious prosecution of it. It emphasises unavail- ing regret for the irony of his situation. All his highest plans and purposes he had meanwhile to postpone ; and this was in the end to mean that he had to forego them altogether. His main energies had to be concentrated, not on his art, but on a sordid struggle for subsistence ; and, notwithstanding his excise salary, so hampered was he at this time in his circumstances that he was compelled, not merely to discontinue receiving ELLISLAND 159 the volumes he had empowered Hill to "pick up/' but to postpone the full payment of those he had received probably until he received some ready money from the sale of his farm crop.
