What reading level is Ruskin's Principles of Art Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Selections 191 Hence I said in the second preface to the "Seven Lamps of Architecture": "AH great art represents something that it sees or believes in; nothing unseen or uncredited." §6. And just because it is always something that it sees or believes in, there is the peculiar character above noted, almost unmistakable, in all high and true ideals, of having been as it were studied from the life, and involving pieces of sudden familiarity, and close specific painting which never would have been... admitted or even thought of, had not the painter drawn either from the bodily life or from the life of faith. For instance, Dante's centaur, Chiron, divid- ing his beard with his arrow before he can speak, is a thing that no mortal would ever have thought of, if he had not actually seen the centaur do it. They might have composed handsome bodies of men and horses in all possible ways, through a whole life of pseudo-ideal- ism, and yet never dreamed of any such thing. But the real living centaur actually trotted across Dante's brain, and he saw him do it.
