What reading level is The Italian Poets Since Dante book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The degrading corruption which assailed English verse towards the end of Milton's life was half redeemed by the satire of Butler and Dryden. When English poetry had fallen to about its lowest depth, a breath of free originality was given it by Churchill. But in the days of Marino the old Italian satire of Bemi was recast according to an idea wholly fresh in modern poetry, the mock-heroic or comic epic, a memory of the "Battle of the Frogs and Mice," a delicious travesty of Homer that Homer him-... self would have loved. The author of this original design was Alessandro Tassoni, in his "Secchia Ra- pita," or "Rape of the Bucket." He was a native of Modena in the year 1565, who, though of a noble family, had to struggle in his childhood with orphan- age and lawsuits ; yet he persevered in study at Fer- rara and Bologna. Going to Rome to seek his fortune, his amiable manners soon attracted the notice of the Cardinal Colonna of the time, who took him, as his secretary, to Spain. Thence he was despatched on an important errand to Pope Clement VIII, who, in an- swering the cardinal's despatch, took occasion to speak in high terms of his secretary.
