What reading level is The Bearing of English Studies Upon the National Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The established orthodoxy of the great French classical school has no close analogy among us ; certainly the English Augustans who sought to displace the riot and caprice of English fancy with a reasoned and ordered lucidity like theirs, 10 THE BEARING OF ENGLISH STUDIES did not speak, as the French Augustans did, with the full accent, the profound conviction, or the enduring result of those in whose words the master-strains of national character become articulate. The school of Pope is not exa...ctly that parenthesis in the history of the national mind which it is in the history of the national poetry ; but it may fairly be described as one of those paragraphs of a great chapter which com- municate matters highly needful to be known, rather than the very pith and burden of the tale. And when we turn to the Elizabethans, there indeed, if anywhere, we seem to be in the presence of an exalted and exultant national life. But their pervading temper is hardly that 'sociality' which Brunetiere laid down as the cardinal trait of the classical literature of France.
