What reading level is The Eve of the French Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To this work Diderot turned with boimdless energy. D'Alembert, however, was discouraged, and retired from the undertaking. For six years Diderot labored on, never safe from interference on the part of the government, and managing a great enterprise, with its staff of contributors and its scores of workmen, while con- stantly liable to arrest and imprisonment. Diderot worked indef atigably also with his pen ; writing articles on all sorts of subjects, — philosophy, arts, trades, and manufactures.... To learn how things were made he visited workshops and handled tools, baffled at times by the jeal- ousy and distrust of the workmen, who were afraid of his disclosing their secret processes, or of his giving informa- tion to the tax-gatherer.
The sharpest blow was yet to fall. The "Encyclo- paedia " was issued by an association of publishers which paid Diderot a moderate salary for his services. Of these publishers one, named Le Breton, was the chief. He is said to have been a dull man, incapable of understand- ing any work of literature.
