What reading level is The Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets: With Critical Observations On ... 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His numbers, hb pauses, his diction, are of his own growth, with- out transcription, without imitation. He thinks in a peculiar trun, and he thinks always as a man of genius ; he looks round on nature and on life with the eye which nature bestows only on a poet ; the eye that dbtinguishes, in every thing presented to its view, whatever there is on which imagination can delight to be detained, and with a mind that at cmce comprehends the vast, and attends to the minute. The reader of The Seaaona... wonders that he never saw before what Thomson shows him, and that he never yet has felt what Thomson impresses.
His is one of the works in which blank verse seems properly used. Thomson's wide expansion of general views, and his enu- meration of circumstantial varieties, would have been d[>structed and embarrassed by the frequent intersections of the sense which are the necessary effects of rhyme.
His descriptions of extended scenes and general effects bring before us the whole magnificence of nature, whether pleasing or dreadful.
