What reading level is Stevensonia Being a Reprint of Various Literary And Pictorial Miscellany Associ book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Goethe's L i f e, " by Lewes, had a great importance for me when it first fell into my hands — a strange instance of the partiality of man's good and man's evil. I know no one whom I less admire than Goethe ; he seems a very epitome of the sins of genius.
^6 Stevensoniana breaking open the doors of private life, and wantonly wounding friends, in that crowning offence of "Werther, " and in his own character a mere pen-and-ink Napoleon, conscious of the rights and duties of superior talents as a... Spanish inquisitor was conscious of the rights and duties of his office. And yet in his fine devotion to his art, in his honest and serviceable friendship for Schiller, what lessons are contained ! Biography, usually so false to its office, does here for once perform for us some of the work of fiction, reminding us, that is, of the truly mingled tissue of man's nature, and how huge faults and shin- ing virtues cohabit and persevere in the same character. History serves us well to this effect, but in the orig- inals, not in the pages of the popular epitomiser, who is bound, by the very nature of his task, to make us feel the difference of epochs instead of the essential identity of man, and even in the originals only to those who can recognize their own human virtues and defects in strange forms, often inverted and under Stevensoniana 27 strange names, often interchanged.
