What reading level is Robert Burns; As a Poet, And As a Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Never did any man possess such mastery in combining humor with pathos — blending smiles with tears. This power Burns exerted in conversation, with all the heighten- ing of effect, which only the sudden coruscations of spoken words can impart. These conversations could never be remembered. No human memory could retain any thing so ethereal. It would be like daguerreotyping music, or the zeph}Ts of spring, or the odors of flowers, or the moonlight sleeping in the stream. All that could be remembe...red, was the bliss of the moment, when the flame was lighted on the altars of the hearts of his charmed auditors.
Thus did the all-conquering eloquence of Burns lay a spell on the hearts of the highbred ladies of Edinburgh.
But it was not among mere scholars, and in the brilliant drawing-rooms of ladies alone, that Burns \nsited. He was invited into every circle. The M A \ 139 conventional rules of .social cxclusiveness gave way before his genius. The lawyers, who wen? the most haughty and exclusive class in swiety, had him at their tables.
