What reading level is The Harbours of England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
None of the great Venetian painters, Tintoret, Titian, Veronese, Bellini, Giorgione, Bonifazio, ever introduce a shipif they can help it. They delight in ponderous architecture, in grass, flowers, blue mountains, skies, clouds, and gay dresses; nothing comesamiss to them but ships and the sea. When they are forced to introducethese, they represent merely a dark-green plain, with reddish galleysspotted about it here and there, looking much like small models ofshipping pinned on a green board. In... their marine battles, there isseldom anything discernible except long rows of scarlet oars, and men inarmor falling helplessly through them.
4. _Late Roman Period. _ That is to say, the time of the beginning of theRenaissance landscape by the Caracci, Claude, and Salvator. First, intheir landscapes, shipping begins to assume something like independentcharacter, and to be introduced for the sake of its picturesqueinterest; although what interest could be taken by any healthy humancreature in such vessels as were then painted has always remained amystery to me.
