What reading level is Some Principles of Literary Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
More than that, this element of untruth is, in each case, just so much deduction from the permanent liter- ary value of the poem. The excellence of the Essay on Man depends, as Mr. Courthope sees, principally upon detached epigrams and aphor- isms, which taken by themselves are true, and which really have very little relation to the cen- tral conception. As Pope never could carry through a train of argument clearly, — being un- able, for the life of him, to put two premises together and draw a ...logical conclusion from them, — he depended for his effects not so much upon the justice and force of the general teaching of his poem as upon the brilliancy of its details. It made comparatively little difference, therefore, whether his central conception was true or false, or whether he had any clearly defined central truth at all. And yet, who does not see that Pope's poetry would have been of a much higher order if he could have made it the expression of some con- sistent and true philosophy of life ; if, let us say, INTELLECTUAL ELEMENT IN LITERATURE 155 he had united with his most brilliant mastery of detail Dryden's power of sustained thinking.
