What reading level is The Circus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus do Professor Ker and Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch evade the task of defini- tion-making. But they are critics of poetry and therefore entitled to the use of escapes and eva- sions denied to the author of a text-book. Let me therefore say with no thought of originality in the saying, that a ballad is a story told in verse. Usu- ally it is told in a sequence of quatrains, with one rhyme to a stanza, and usually the line is the iambic heptameter — or rather the stanza consists of two iambic tetra...meters and two iambic trimeters. But this form is not inevitable ; the only thing inevitable about a ballad is that it shall be a story.
Of the ancient ballads there are many collections, [200] LECTURES ON ENGLISH POETRY of which the most famous are those of Bishop Percy and of Professor Child. But Sir Arthur Quiller- Couch's book, already mentioned, is sufficiently comprehensive for the needs of the ordinary stu- dent of the subject.
In the preface to this book, Sir Arthur says a rather surprising thing.
