What reading level is The Living Langauges a Defense of the Compulsory Study of Greek At Cambridge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We, in Cambridge, have seen large audiences, in great measure composed of persons wholly ignorant of Greek, moved to emotion of which it would be discourteous and censori- ous to doubt the sincerity, by the representation, under circumstances almost as different as possible to those contemplated by the authors, of Greek tragedies written two thousand years ago. Such is the power of the beauty and sweetness of Greek words : and the language to which these qualities have secured immortality, is s...poken of as a dead language !
Akin to the merits of Greek to which I have already referred is a merit of which I should like to speak at considerable length, were it not that its proper discus- sion would lead me too far from the subject under con- sideration. I refer to the extraordinary richness of the language of the Greeks in metrical possibilities, and of the literature of the Greeks in actual metrical experi- ments. Metre is the foundation of all poetry, and is of incalculable importance in songs, and more or less in- directly in all kinds of musical composition so far as melody, apart from harmony, is concerned.
