What reading level is The Gleaner a Series of Periodical Essays volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
NO. 83.
unless artfully conducted, may, very soon, tire an audience, but in this excellent poet's hands nothing suffers a diminution. The same, I think, appears in his Sir Paul Plyant, in which character there is, perhaps, as much comic force as in any one piece on the stage. Sir John Vanburgh was also a perfect master of his art in this respect ; and of this his Sir John Brute is a remarkable proof. The knight is constantly diverting us with an odd whimsical way of thinking, which at once serv...es to display his own foibles, and entertains his audience with a pleasantry, of which he seems all along totally unconscious himself.
It is therefore by placing the humours and foibles of human nature in a ridiculous light, that the true comic force is created. The au- thor of the Pleasures of Imagination, whom I have already quoted, has judiciously explained each part of the definition cited above, and has finely traced the several sources from which true ridicule springs. Whoever chooses to con- sider the matter will find affectation to be but one spring, however diffusive the streams of it may be.
