What reading level is The First Duchess of Newcastle And Her Husband As Figures in Literary History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hers was a warped and irregular growth, due largely no doubt to certain inborn tendencies and in part to her early surroundings.
1 Lower in 1872 mentions this " nickname which her jealous (female?) con- temporaries gave her," p. ix, but cites no evidence to prove his assertion.
265 266 THE FIRST DUCHESS OF NEWCASTLE On neither point could better evidence be procured than from the lady herself, who has been pleased to give us A True Relation of my Birth, Breeding and Life. Moreover she is such a... nai've writer that only the most suspicious person can refuse to grant her a complete suspension of disbelief.
Often, to be sure, her statements are not so significant as the fact that she does set them down, but in that case her veracity is only emphasized by her ingenuous sincerity. The True Rela- tion occurs as Book XI of Nature s Pictures, and is described on the title-page as " a true story at the latter end, wherein there is no feignings." Its unique importance was early recog- nized, so that it has been often reprinted, generally in con- nection with the Life, but sometimes by itself, as in Edward Jenkins's garbled selections.
