What reading level is The Masters of English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With downcast looks the joyless victor sate, Revolving in his altered soul The various tui*ns of chance below ; And, now and then, a sigh he stole, And tears began to flow.
At present critics are apt to think such poetry as this too obviously rhetorical, lacking in subtlety, lacking in delicacies of tone. But the truth is that the normal unprejudiced reader will admire, and rightly admire, the force and fire of this ode, while vaguely conscious that its appeal to the emotions is conventional. B...ut Dryden is thinking about a crowd, whereas Shelley when he writes his Music when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory thinks only of an individual, addresses only one hearer. Much less of the brass band's resonance, much more of the absolutely genuine emotion can be found, however, in another ode of Dryden's, his noble verses on the Death of Mrs. Anne KiUigrew, a young lady " excellent in the two sister arts of poesy and painting." From this may be quoted the expression of personal remorse alluded to above ; PROSE WRITERS OF THE RESTORATION 147 O gracious God !
