What reading level is The Oppidan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rome seemed to underlie the Oxford Movement, and immorality was associated quite wrongly with the aesthetic revival. William John- son and Oscar Browning had stood for the finer things.
Browning founded a Literary Society, and tried to break down prejudice sufficiently for intellectual Collegers and Oppidans to meet. Warre cared more if they rowed in time together on the River. Mitchell judged every boy by the straightness of his bat and the twist in his ball.
Warre and Mitchell went their triu...mphant way, while Browning vainly tried to intellectualise Eton, not under- standing that the spirit must come from among the boys themselves. He was driven into the wilderness for his pains, as William Johnson before him. Two of the best teachers of youth were lost to the School they loved.
The mantle of Hornby, which had sheltered the Phil- athlete and the Philistine, fell eventually to Warre, in whose latter days as Head Reform, cultural and aesthetic, was voiced anew by Mr. Christopher, while the younger men, teaching Science or Mathematics, had begun to stand out for their rights and modernness of teaching.
