What reading level is The Friendship of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tradition, I sup- pose. Slowly progressing tradition working for ages has broug|it about her dress as it is this morning, and made her set out for diordi 176 4^n Eturntlon in that calm, delightful way. I don't know whether ladies go to church in Japan, or whether they have any Sunday. But, if they have and if they do, how charming we should think their custom! What a pious and beau- tiful habit! Yet it is only tradition.
Is tradition, then, so great a beautifier of this world and of our life he...re? Is it not rather true to say that all our advances and advantages have been won in a hard-fought fight with tradition? Is it not by stubbornly opposing custom and by unflinchingly insist- ing on change, freedom, reform, that we have come to our present development? Am I not right to be a liberal, even a radical, and set my face like a stone against benumbing tradition? Tradition makes men bigots and slaves and tyrants and superstitious yokels.
Tradition is the father of persecutions, the uncle of falsehoods, the brother of ignorance, and the grandsire of a thousand hideous sins against sweetness and light.
