What reading level is The Oriental Tale in England in the Eighteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A doll of that country, we called a joss, and a slight building a pagoda.
For that year we talked of nothing but palanquins, nabobs, mandarins, junks, sipoys, etc. To what was this owing, but the war in the East Indies?" At the same time it is true, and particularly true in the case of the material which Miss Conant treats in her fourth chapter ("The Satirical Group"), that the orient was used largely as a point of view. The popular attitude toward neigh- boring nations was unfavorable; the sev...enteenth-century "char- acters" of France, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, and Italy are ad- verse; and the Frenchman or Dutchman in the. drama of the period is, like the Irishman or the Welshman, usually a butt for ridicule. The oriental had the advantage of remoteness, — ^his habits of thought were quaint and fresh, and there was nothing against him. Moreover, he had other advantages than mere re- moteness; he lived in the chosen abode of magic, wealth, wis- dom, and gravity. In a romantic period — and in the more imaginative writings of any period — the magic and the fabulous riches of the east would be emphasized; in the eighteenth cen- tury, particularly by the moralist and satirist, constant use was made of oriental wisdom uttered with oriental gravity.
