What reading level is The Development of Maurice Maeterlinck And Other Sketches of Foreign Writers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of few books of our contemporary era can it be said that they reveal the evolution or the conversion of a soul, in the simplest sense of the term, more vividly and picturesquely than those three novels, " La Bas, " " En Route, " HUYSMANS' "THE CATHEDRAL" 79 and "La Cathedral e, " which will be always associated with the strange history of Huys- mans a nervous, subtle, highly sensitive, and excitable nature, passionately relapsing from one ideal to its exact opposite, and throughout with the one... predominant attri- bute of intense curiosity. If Naturalism and Materialism have failed him, why should he not see whether they could not be refined, or, perhaps, symbolised, by some kind of spiritualism? You cannot eat swine's husks for ever without your stomach rising at such food. You must pretend that the husks stand for and represent something else, some wonderful caricature of bread and wine, or even ambrosia and nepenthe. And so the storm-driven artist depicts a hero called Durtal, who, in the first stage of his progress, revels in black magic, and tries to con- nect mediaeval superstition in its basest forms with that curious product of nineteenth century magic called, in Paris, Satanism or Diabolism.
