What reading level is Shakespeare's Autobiographical Poems. Being His Sonnets Clearly Developed: With His Character Drawn Chiefly From His Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the English tongue, in his age, began extremely to suffer by an inundation of Latin ; and this, to be sure, was occa- sioned by the pedantry of those two monarchs, Eliza- beth and James, both great Latinists. For it is not to be wondered at, if both the court aiid schools, equal flatterers of power, should adapt themselves to the royal taste." This passage scarcely makes up in elegance what it wants in clearness. The meaning of it must be,^t is likely Shakespeare had authority in the litera...ture of his time for all his words derived from Latin.
Now it is barely possible such was the case, since many may be produced which cannot be at present traced to older authority ; and no author of his time, known to us, not even the learned Ben, has used so great a variety of Latin words as Shakespeare. They are not indeed so staringly apparent as in Ben Jonson, because Shakespeare's good taste taught him never to display his art, but to conceal it — a secret which he seems to have kept to himself, and which few have suspected.
