What reading level is Studies in Jocular Literature a Popular Subject More Closely Considered book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
207 are merely localised for the nonce. Of the latter the jest-books, which contri- buted so largely to the activity of the press from the accession of the Stuarts to their restoration, are rich in examples, as I have already pointed out. PasquiVs Jests is one of the worst offenders in this way. " How a merchant lost his purse between Waltham and London" is nothing more than a new-birth of the account in Merry Tales and Quick Answers, where Ware is the place specified ; and " How mad Coomes of ...Stapforth, when his wife was drowned, sought her against the stream, " reproduces No. 55 of the same older miscellany, which is itself copied and varied from a Latin fabliau. Manchester, Hertford- shire, Kingston, Lincolnshire, and other neighbourhoods are fixed as the theatres of adventures in these books, without the slightest eye to topographical fitness. The anterior publications had perhaps set the fashion to some extent, and notably so the Gothamite Tales; but the resuscita- tion of used matter with some superficial investiture of novelty became a sort of 208 Studies in necessity, when the popular demand for these wares increased out of proportion to the supply.
