What reading level is Studies in Foreign Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He seems to have laboured under the disadvantage of an admiration for Dickens. But he has presented his readers with a wide variety of types, each studied con- scientiously, and, above all, he has shown some- thing more than their mere surface distinctions. One of his greatest charms is his humanity. Nothing that affects the happiness of man is beneath his notice. He regards his neighbours with a benevolent and cordial philosophy ; he penetrates their motives, and describes their actions in a s...pirit of kindly toleration, yet not without, here and there, the salt of a caustic * wit. Note the tenderness with which, in the Piccolo Mondo Antico, he has drawn the ludi- crous pathetic figure of * La Pasotti ' — her deafness, her terror of her husband, her un- quenchable goodness of heart — making her lovable in spite of all her annoying absurdities, and contrast her with D'Annunzio's brutal picture of the old aunt Gioconda in the Trionfo dell a Morte. You see at a glance the funda- mental difference between the pagan and the Christian outlook on life.
