What reading level is The Old Rome And the New And Other Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I explained, and with strong irritation in his manner he replied, " You 've spoiled your picture," and walked straight out of the room. I had spoiled it; for everything in it had been chosen and painted with reference to this deadly duel, with which Ruskin had no sympathy. Death oppressed him, whence his annoyance Tvith the picture; but that he was olfactorily impressed, as he was, could only be explained by the fact that, as always, he felt what he imagined or wished to see. He wanted to see... truth in Turner's drawings, and he made his truth accordingly. I can but regard his influence on modern landscape painting as per- nicious from beginning to end ; and, coinciding as it did with the advent of a great naturalistic and, therefore, anti-artistic tendency in all branches of study, it was even more disastrous than it would have been in ordinary circumstances.
His architectural work, "Stones of Venice," etc., I am not so competent to judge, but I believe that, while on the one hand he did great good by JOHN EUSKIN 119 bringing out the virtues of Gothic architecture and awakening the interest of the world in the art that was passing away, on the other hand he did harm by repressing the influence of the better form of Renaissance, which is often of the noblest and truest art, and is far more adapted to our modern ways of work and uses than is the Gothic.
