What reading level is Sketches of the Poetical Literature of the Past Half-Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The beauties of Gertrude, however, are of that unobtrusive kind, that, for the most part, they must be sought for. Its imagery is so select as to afford only indices to trains of thought.
It " touches a spring, and lo ! what myriads rise 1 " If we add to this, that, as a story, Gertrude is particularly defective, the circumstances will be made palpable which have operated against the popularity of a composition 80 thoroughly exquisite. The versification of the poem is intricately elaborate, the... diction fastidiously select, and the incidents, as I have just hinted, less brought out than left to be imagined ; as, for instance, where, in one stanza, Henry Waldegrave is the infantine com- panion of Gertrude, and, in the next, we are told of his arrival from foreign travel, ere we are dimly apprised that he had ever set out from home. Weighed, however, with the real excellencies of the poem, these and other minor blemishes — as inaccuracies in natural history — are " mere spots in the sun," and are amply counter- balanced by the Elysian description of Wyoming, with which the poem opens — ^although its tone occasionally more than reminds us of Thomson's " Castle of Indo- lence," and its imagery of Wordsworth's "Ruth;"— the arrival of Outalissi, " the eagle of his tribe," with the white boy in his hand, " like morning brought by ITS HIQH EXCELLENCIES.
