What reading level is The Influence of Greek Philosophy On English Poetry the Chancellors Essay 19 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It is clear that from this conception of chastity as an "abstract sublimity" came the inspiration of Comus. The opposition between sense and reason is indeed the motif of the story, although Milton con- trives to give it a preponderance of ethical character, whereas in Plato the distinction is primarily epistetnological : but it, was natural that a phrase like that of the Phaedo " the soul is dragged by the body into the region of the changeable "- should be misinterpreted by an age that had ...not yet faced the problem of knowledge. But in general we may say that the Platonic antinomy of soul and body profoundly influenced Milton's early thought. Comus indeed may in a sense be called anti-Christian, since it involves the doctrine that the soul can winjier own salvation, without an act of grace from on high. [The sterner Puritanism of Milton's later years weakened hfe~belief in this as in other doctrines derived from Greek philosophy. Platonism was for Milton a thing_pf youth and playtime : his mature life owned another master, j find in this Milton's life was an epitome of his age.
