What reading level is The Galaxy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the representation of Shakespeare's plays there hasbeen no greater affront to common sense than the usual presentation ofthis Fool upon the stage as a boy, except the putting a pretty womaninto the part, dressed in such a way as to captivate the eye and divertthe attention by the beauty of her figure. It is disturbing enough tosee Ariel, sexless, but, like the angels, rather masculine thanfeminine, represented by a woman dressed below the waist in an invertedgauze saucer, and above the waist... in a perverted gauze nothing; but tosee Lear's Fool thus unbedecked is more amazing than Bottom's brutaltranslation was to his fellow actors. This Fool is a man of middle age, one who has watched the world and grown sad over it. His jesting has atouch of heart-break in it which is prevented from becoming patheticonly by the cynicism which pertains partly to his personal character andpartly to his office. He and Kent are about of an age--Kent, who whenasked his age, as he comes back disguised to his old master, says, "Notso young as to love a woman for her singing, nor so old as to dote onher for anything; I have years on my back forty-eight"--a speech whichcontains one of the finest of Shakespeare's minor touches ofworldly-wise character drawing.
