What reading level is The Ministry of Fine Art to the Happiness of Life: Essays On Various Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Christian converts had been as subject to those influ- ences as any others. They had learnt to abhor the idolatry and to loathe the abuse of the arts, but it was impossible for them to change the habitual sentiment of allegory and symbol to which their minds had been inevitably trained. The doctrines and the rites of the new faith they had adopted were deeply figurative, and like the works of heathen sculpture to which they were accustomed, whatever was objective in them bore a recondite an...d spiritual interpretation. The earliest lessons of their faith had been conveyed in the allegori- cal form of parables. The miracles of its Founder had been shown by Him, as in the case of the multiplica- tion of the loaves and fishes, to possess a depth of meaning far beneath and beyond the external acts and objects themselves. The religious rites prescribed by Him were profoundly symbolical. The ancient scrip- tures, to which He had referred his disciples for the foundation of all He did and taught, embodied all their historical and prophetic reference to the new faith in the forms and words of allegory, type, and symbol.
