What reading level is Sketches And Studies in Italy And Greece, Complete book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are, were, and alwayswill be high imaginative points of vantage commanding the broadfields of knowledge, upon which the poet may take his station tosurvey the world and all that it contains. But it has long ceased tobe his function to set forth, in any kind of metre, systems ofspeculative thought or purely scientific truths. This was not thecase in the old world. There was a period in the development of theintellect when the abstractions of logic appeared like intuitions, and guesses abou...t the structure of the universe still wore the garbof fancy. When physics and metaphysics were scarcely distinguishedfrom mythology, it was natural to address the Muses at the outset ofa treatise of ontology, and to cadence a theory of elementalsubstances in hexameter verse. Thus the philosophical poems ofXenophanes, Parmenides, and Empedocles belonged essentially to atransitional stage of human culture.
There is a second species of poetry to which the name ofphilosophical may be given, though it better deserves that ofmystical.
