What reading level is Selected English Letters Xv Xix Centuries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To GEORGE, LORD LYTTELTON Gray's Odes Strawberry Hill, 25 Aug. 1757.
MY LORD, It is a satisfaction one can't often receive, to show a thing of great merit to a man of great taste. Your Lordship's approbation is conclusive, and it stamps a disgrace on the age, who have not given themselves the trouble to see any beauties in these Odes of Mr. Gray. They have cast their eyes over them, found them obscure, and looked no further, yet perhaps no compositions ever had GRAY'S ODES 175 more sublime beau...ties than are in each. I agree with your Lordship in preferring the last upon the whole ; the three first stanzas and half, down to agonizing King, are in my opinion equal to anything in any language I understand. Yet the three last of the first Ode please me very near as much. The description of Shakespeare is worthy Shakespeare : the account of Milton's blindness, though perhaps not strictly defensible, is very majestic. The character of Dryden's poetry is as animated as what it paints. I can even like the epithet Orient; as the last is the empire of fancy and poesy, I would allow its livery to be erected into a colour.
