What reading level is Shelley book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may sound paradoxical to claim for Shelley of all men a clear insight into the enduring element of the Christian creed; but it was pre- cisely his detachment from all its accidents which enabled him to discern its spiritual purity, and placed him in a true relation to its Founder. For those who would nei- ther on the one hand relinquish what is permanent in religion, nor yet on the other deny the inevitable con- clusions of modern thought, his teaching is indubitably valuable. His fierce tir...ades against historic Christianity must be taken as directed against an ecclesiastical system of spiritual tyranny, hypocrisy, and superstition, which in his opinion had retarded the growth of free institutions, and' fettered the human intellect^ Like Campanella, he distinguished between Christ, who sealed the gospel of charity with his blood, and those Christians, who would be the first to crucify their Lord if he returned to earth.
That Shelley lived up to his religious creed is amply proved. To help the needy and to relieve the sick, seem- ed to him a simple duty, which he cheerfully discharged.
