What reading level is The Ethics of Literary Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is said that in counterfeit money the simplest and clearest lines of engraving are most often badly exe- cuted. The same is true in counterfeit litera- ture ; we detect its spuriousness in the failure to reproduce authentic strokes.
To give composition the tfOos, the counten- yo The Ethics of ance of character, and the OdXepdv, the clean, fair bloom of vigor, is the highest function of artistic expression. Those writers who have most signally failed in expression have been clearly wanting in... this magnetism of literary countenance. Walt Whitman pleases one reader and repels ten thousand. Not so with Newman, or Tennyson, or Robert Louis Stevenson, or Nathaniel Hawthorne, or Lowell, or Howells. These have the eye of the Ancient Mariner to hold ten thousand, to repel none. With this particular fascination the writer's subject-mat- ter has nothing to do. He will detain you an hour on your way to dinner with the analysis of a vague smile just as easily as with an epic. There are two extremes of artificial sin- cerity.
