What reading level is Studies in Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When, at the end of this act, he returns to the feeble semblance of himself, in that pathetic passage in which he recognizes Cordelia, he says, " I fear I am not in my perfect mind," — a sure sign that his mind, al- though at once senile and childish, is no longer dis- tracted.
15 226 STUDIES IN SHAKESPEARE.
After this he sinks rapidly ; but in his speech to Cordelia, when they are brought in prisoners, in which he says that they will sing in prison " like birds in a cage," and " laugh at gilde...d butterflies," he has not be- come again insane. The tone of his mind has gone ; he has passed even the pride of manliness, and has fallen to a point at which he can look upon the rem- nants of his former self without anger, and even with a gentle pity. Of all the creations of dramatic art this is the most marvellous. Art it must be, and yet art inexplicable. We might rather believe that Shake- speare, when he was wi-iting. these scenes, could say in Milton's phrase. Myself am Lear. Strangest, per- haps, of all is the sustained royalty of Lear's madness.
