What reading level is The Days Burden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1905.
REVERIES OF ASSIZE It is the last day of the Winter Assizes. If you want a metaphor to drape it in, you may call it the punitive clearing-house of Society. The cheques of crime come in, with sinister crinklings and rustlings, to receive the cancelling stamp which announces that in six months or twenty years or, it may be, three weeks, with a hempen halter at the end the criminal will have cleared his account with the State. He may then begin anew . . . If he be sufficiently alive. There i...s no tragic strain in the air as the sentenced prisoners pass out of the dock to lose their freedom, their clothes, their tobacco, and their names for the stated period. They do not, as that young reporter racing over the last page of his flimsy is sure to write, " appear to realize their position. " They are only the raw material of tragedy. They have never, like you and me, read Gorky in bad English. They have not participated in the revival of Greek drama; nor even, with the aid of a free pass, studied the free passions of the Stage Society.
