What reading level is The Inns & Taverns of "pickwick", With Some Observations On Their Other Associations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
173 THE INNS AND TAVERNS OF " PICKWICK " Now it is known as a fact that Dickens took the name Pickwick from the said Moses Pickwick the proprietor of the " White Hart," whose coaches he had seen and ridden in a year or two previously. So that apart from the brief references to the inn in The Pickwick Papers its history is very much associated with the book.
Unfortunately, Dickens does not give us any minute description of it, as he does of other inns. Although it was the most im- portant coachi...ng house in the city, it could not be spoken of as particularly attractive in appearance. It looked more like a barracks than an hotel, indeed, we believe it was used for such a purpose in its degenerate days before it was finally demolished in 1867.
During its prosperous era, it was the resort of all the distinguished visitors who flocked to Bath during those gay and" festive times.
There is still a relic of it in existence. The gracefully carved effigy of a white hart, which decorated the front of the building, now serves a similar purpose on an inn with the same name in the suburb of 1 Widcombe, near by.
