What reading level is The Living Authors of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old system of educa tion has many tine traits in it we mean the old chivalric theory. Now utility is the Juggernaut before whose wheels everything noble or romantic . Is thrown down and crushed. The loftiest minds are those most required in the busy world ; they are the salt that sweetens the earth, the yeast that leavens the whole. A poet should be encouraged to come out into the crowded haunts, and mingle familiarly with his fellow-men, and not, as is often the case, driven into his own s...olitary cham ber, to turn his face to the wall and die. The great, the fatal evil of the present day is want of imagination. There is not enough to bring the human masses to that average idealism absolutely necessary to carry on the Christian government of the world. The New Testament is rapidly becoming practically obsolete, but, like all hypocrites, the respectable classes preach more in proportion as they practise less. Our Saviour would stand a poor chance in modern cities ; destitution or a jail would be his fate, while possibly some benevolent men might suggest a lunatic asylum as a humane compromise.
