What reading level is Social Ideals in English Letters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slowly it developed that opposition to the Manchester School, that enlarged idea of the \J '. J scope of its science, which, if not yet accepted, is still every day gaining ground. In a complete his- tory of social thought, the speculations of this school would occupy a leading place ; but it takes a long time for such speculations to sift into litera- ture, and thence into life ; and with literature, this book is concerned.
The general thought and feeling turned indeed at about this time quite... a sharp corner ; but it was not in the direction of the economists. In our rapid and inadequate sketch, we have reached the decade between 1870 and 1880. Novel and essay alike had witnessed to the awakening of the social consciousness ; and now that consciousness, per- haps strained too long on one point, revolted.
In 1870, the century felt itself already very old. Romanticism as a tradition was played out ; the sceculum realisticum was in full sway. Rossetti and the few mournful spirits who remained true to 234 THE ENGLAND OF OUR FATHERS the great romantic tradition and intensified it, were living consciously isolated in an alien world.
