What reading level is The Blackwood Group book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Employing the word in its specialised sense, he was more ' modern ' than the greatest among his contem- poraries. For example, as has been already indicated, when most himself he had more of what we are pleased to consider the characteristically modern qualities of sen- sitiveness and imaginative intensity than had Scott. In illustration of this, perhaps we cannot do better than cite the already quoted Omen, with its sombre and lurid effects, the sense of bated breath, suspense, impending trage...dy, which pervades its every page. Nothing of all 92 FAMOUS SCOTS this, as I need hardly say, was in Scott's line; even in the finest and most imaginative of his shorter pieces, in My Aunt Margarets Mirror, the tension is eased by characteristic diffuseness of manner. And Gait's superior some will call it morbid sensitiveness extended also to his style : his use of words, when he is at his best, is much more interesting than Scott's. It might possibly even be argued that his Scotch, if perhaps less abundant, is more remarkable for nice appropriateness of word and phrase than Sir Walter's.
