What reading level is The Life of William Morris volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It was separately published in June, 1867, under the title of *'The Life and Death of Jason. " The success of "Jason" was immediate and great. In 1 84 THE LIFE OF [1867 those years Tennyson reigned almost without a rival ; but people had grown weary of his imitators, and his own inspiration no longer, in the opinion of many admirers, kept pace with the elaborate beauty of his execution. It was time for new poetry. The appearance, two years before, of "Atalanta in Calydon " had roused a tempest ...of excite- ment and applause. It was felt that a new generation had arisen. This new poem of *'The Life and Death of Jason, " in which the refinement and charm of mature art were combined with the reawakened sense of romanticism, with extraordinary fertility of movement and incident, and with a largeness, straightforwardness, and sweetness that were all its own, found an audience ready for it. It had just enough of archaism or mannerism to interest critics without rousing their ridicule. When the Pall Mall Gazette, then the great arbiter of cultured opinion, could find little in *' Jason" to condemn beyond an " in- difference to manners " shown in the passage where " Medea obtains her first interview with Jason by knock- ing unexpedledly at his chamber door" (instead, we must infer, of sending him a note by the footman), its fortunes with the critics were secured.
