What reading level is Shelley, Godwin And Their Circle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is to leave men indolent and unbraced by truth. He objectseven to the trappings and ceremonies which are used to rendermagistrates outwardly venerable and awe-inspiring, so that they mayimpress the irrational imagination. These means may be used as easily tosupport injustice as to render justice acceptable. They divide men intotwo classes; those who may reason, and those who must take everything ontrust. This is to degrade them both. The masses are kept in perpetualvibration between rebellio...us discontent and infatuated credulity. Andcan we suppose that the practice of concealment and hypocrisy will makeno breaches in the character of the governing class?
The general effect of any meddling of authority with opinion is that themind is robbed of its genuine employment. Such a system produces beingswanting in independence, and in that intrepid perseverance and calmself-approbation which grow from independence. Such beings are the meredwarfs and mockeries of men.
Godwin was at issue here as much with Rousseau as with Burke, but histrust in the people, it should be explained, was based rather on faithin what they might become, than on admiration for what they were.
