What reading level is Stray Leaves; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lucas, is sufficient to show. " It did not sharpen the arrows of satire, it did not grin with a pro- voking malice, it did not thirst for reward, it did not cater for vanity, it did not live on adulation. It was his own quiet posses- sion and delight." Some of Lamb's puns, if regarded as made for display, are execrable.
But they are made for amusement. Like their author, and Horace, circum pracordia ludunt. They appeal rather to the heart than to the head. Only a good man could have made them; ...they are so very bad.
130 Digitized by Google Charles Lamb Mr. Lucas has, I think, told at length, for the first time, the awful tragedy of Lamb's life. Even at the distance of more than a century, it seems indecent to dwell on such a horror as involuntary matricide, or upon the haunting demon which always lurked behind the sweet reasonableness of Mary Lamb. It is the highest praise of Mr. Lucas to say, as can be said with truth, that he neither avoids the miserable subject nor says of it one jarring word.
