What reading level is Samuel Butler a Critical Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has brought the author H 113 SAMUEL BUTLER too near the heart of his matter, and he permits himself to break out in an attack on clergymen in general, which is very bad for his novel but very good for his polemic. And it is interesting here as exposing rawly the soreness from which Butler's spirit never wholly re- covered. " I have often thought that the Church of Rome does wisely in not allowing her priests to marry. Certainly it is a matter of common observation in England that the sons of... clergy- men are frequently unsatisfactory. The ex- planation is very simple, but is so often lost sight of that I may perhaps be pardoned for giving it here. " The clergyman is expected to be a kind of human Sunday. Things must not be done by him which are venial in the weekday classes. He is paid for this business of leading a stricter life than other people. It is his raison d'etre. If his parishioners feel that he does this, they approve of him, for they look upon him as their own contribution towards what they deem a holy life.
