What reading level is The Life of Alexander Pope Including Extracts From His Correspondence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every scandal and insinuation made against Lord Hervey, by Pul- teney and other political opponents, is introduced in the form of inuendo or explanation ; the old arrows are barbed afresh and dexterously pointed ; and the letter wants only a little more compression, and less visible straining after effect, to rival the invectives of Junius. As a defence it is poor. Pope committed the same capital blunder he had done in his former replies. The case was another of the poeticcefraudes : " I never ...heard, " he said, " of the least displeasure you had con- ceived against me, till I was told that an imitation I had made of Horace had offended some persons, and among them your Lordship. I could not have apprehended that a few general strokes about a Lord scribbling carelessly, a pimp, or a spy at Court, a sharper in a gilded chariot, &c, that these, 1 say, should be ever applied as they have been, by any malice but that which is the greatest in the world, the malice of ill people to themselves.
