What reading level is The Character of Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'* We should require a clear instance of such a phenomenon before we could believe it. From the element of nobility in most men they would be able, perhaps, to recognize a tjiing said or done as being finely said or done, but they could not, unless they were themselves noble, throw themselves into a state of mind so far above the ordinary level, and think and act in that character consistently. Now some of Shakespeare's most impressive characters are of this noble type. Othello, for example, is... a great gentleman. We feel his magnanimity in every line he speaks. But this nobility is entirely the creation of Shakespeare : it forms no part of the character in the novel of Cinthio, upon which the play is based.
Again, on the hypothesis that Shakespeare was merely a sensitive medium, whose personality does not enter into his dramas, the question arises how we are to account for the change of tone between the plays of different periods. On this hypothesis, all that we could expect would be a greater accuracy in the delineation of manners, as his eye and hand grew in cunning.
