What reading level is Shelley the Man the Poet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" In what we have of the poem very little happens. The old man Zonoras, the friend of Athanase, is very like the hermit in " The Revolt of Islam, " and like him, is drawn from Doctor Lind. Shelley in a note said, " The author was pursuing a fuller 167 SHELLEY: THE MAN AND THE POET development of the ideal character of Athanase, when it struck him that, in an attempt at extreme refinement and analysis, his conceptions might be betrayed into the assuming a morbid character. " One feels that Shell...ey could not have made Athanase do anything. These phantoms of his own mind can never act ; they can only feel, and he has no skill in inventing causes for their emo- tions. " Athanase " is written in terza rima, a difficult metre which Shelley was fond of, and which already he handled with great skill. It contains some good lines ; but the subject was one which Shelley had already exhausted. Per- haps that was the real reason why he did not finish it.
Shelley himself thought little of " Rosalind and Helen " and only finished it to please Mary.
