What reading level is Scottish Poetry Drummond of Hawthornden to Fergusson Lectures Delivered in the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But though, as regards his philosophical and critical writings, this may be justified, his poetry deserves, I believe, more respectful treatment. For the fact that he was over-rated in his own day does not authorize us to undervalue him. And Beattie's Minstrel holds a distinct place of its own in Scottish Poetry.
When Thomson's friend, Lord Lyttelton, first 99 SCOTTISH POETRY met Beattie, he declared that it seemed to him that Thomson had come down from Heaven, refined by the converse of purer ...spirits than those he lived with here ; to sing again, but with angelic strains, the beauties of Nature and the finest feelings of virtue. You will say, perhaps, that Lyttelton must have been a courtier ; and one to whom the grace of a light touch in compli- ment had been denied. And yet there is a certain truth in his words, too. That Thomson was much more of a man and a poet than Beattie, I admit ; yet it is true that Beattie's Minstrel carries on the tradition of a more ideal poetry inaugurated by The Castle of Indolence, and that it does so not unworthily.
