What reading level is The Growth of English Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The public appetite for complex plots wasstimulated, but unfortunately very little progress was made in the artof orderly dramatic arrangement and evolution. Indeed, this feature ofGreene's plays may be thought to have been almost as much a loss as again to drama. Its popularity licensed an indifference on the part oflesser authors to clarity and restraint, and encouraged the developmentof those dual plots which are to be found, connected by the flimsiestbonds, in the works of such men as Dekke...r and Heywood. To the sameinfluence may be traced Shakespeare's frequent but skilful use ofsubordinate plots. For the second quality of Greene's work we name thecharm and purity of his romantic conceptions. The fresh air of hispastoralism, the virtue, constancy and patience of his heroines, entitlehim to an honourable position among the writers who have reached successby this path. Thirdly, but of equal importance, is his sympatheticpresentment of men and women of the middle and lower classes; he washere an innovator, and some of our most pathetic dramas may be tracedultimately to his example.
