What reading level is The Beginnings of Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Ibid., III. xix. See above on the closed account. Exotic literature, and the mullas, learned poets, Radloif declares, are slowly driving out folksong of every sort.
212 THE BEGINNINGS OF POETRY working free from the throng, and are diverting the old broad current of repetition into channels and courses of art. But this individual artist ^ has a very short tether, and he is close to the community not only in fact but in the character of his work. Improvisation is the rule ; composition of the ...deliber- ate modern sort is almost unknown. Festal throngs, not a poet's solitude, are the birthplace of poetry ; and the folk, if they must listen and may not sing in chorus, choose a pair of singers to compete. " Some one present steps forward and challenges to a flyting. If no one appears in answer, the challenger sings improvised stanzas making fun of the people before him ; but if a match is made up, then the two wage their duel in song until one fails to respond, loses the game, and gives a present to his conqueror." As with the Faroe islanders, so here on the Tartar steppes, and on the slopes of the Altai, if these rival songs show conspicuous merit, they are remembered, repeated, and sung as traditional ballads.2 Radloff has several instances.
