What reading level is Studies in Foreign Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the whole Montaga family is created in order to convey a sense of hovering insanity ; the peasantry around San Vito illustrate the effects of a mystical super- stition ; but in neither case does any character possess a definite individuality apart from the central conception. Somehow we seem to miss characterisation less in D'Annunzio than we should in any other author, but the fact remains that it is not there. He is entirely destitute of wide human sympathies ; he seems to regard even hi...s own creations with a cynical indiffer- ence which alienates from his own person the sympathies of the reader. He has not a word of pity for the fate of Maria Ferres, who ruins 2i6 GABRIELE D'ANNUNZIO herself for Sperelli ; or for Ippolita, who is in every sense the victim of Aurispa ; or for the three shadowy sisters of Trigento, waiting in their stately, melancholy palace for the advent of some fairy prince, women who remind me of nothing so forcibly as of delicate peaches on a garden wall waiting till the passer-by shall pluck and devour.
