What reading level is The Life of Mazzini book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Genius is like this tree, and the mission of criticism should be to shake the branches. At the present day it more resembles a savage striv- ing to hew down the noble tree to the roots. " In his scheme of life the poet had a part of supreme importance. He regarded literature as a " moral priest- hood. " Poetry would " save the world in its despite, " for it was the poet's prerogative to redeem it from doubt and base ideals, to " reveal duties and create affections, " to lift men up above the ...trivial things of life to the eternal verities, " We have, " he cries in the forties, " exiled poetry from life, and enthusiasm and faith have gone with it, and love, as I understand love, and constancy in sacrifice, and the worship of great deeds and great men. " His own Italy had little of the throbbing national life, in which alone true poetry could flourish ; and everywhere an age of faithlessness robbed the poet of his aliment. The time was for the critic, — the constructive, " philosophic " critic ; he was the " literary educator, " and he could at all events be precursor of the poet of the future, marking the lines on which a modern democratic poetry should travel, and preparing a public to understand him.
