What reading level is Studies in Several Literatures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The reason why Vanity Fair succeeded at the time is to be found in its freshness of manner. The historical romance, which had been so splendidly developed by Scott, had grown stale in the hands of G. P. R. James, Harrison Ainsworth, and a hundred smaller men. The sentimental romance pure and simple had reached the verge of mawklshness with Miss Landon and Bulwcr-Lytton. The latter had also led the ranks of writers who revelled in low life and the psychology of crime. Then upon the scene came Th...ackeray, to give the English-speaking people a novel of manners, of social experiences, of life as men and women of the world beheld it. Every one had become tired of " fine writing, " and Thackeray THACKERAY AND "VANITY FAIR" 153 gave them good writing instead — writing that was often half colloquial and still more often wholly so. Men read him with that sense of relief which, in an earlier generation, they had felt in passing from the rhodomontade of Mrs. RadclifFc and her school to the sturdy, vigorous manner of Sir Walter Scott.
