What reading level is The Oxford book of American Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his wicked dreams the man Digitized by Google 320 American Essays is not only animal, he is devil, so wholly is he let into his evils, as the Swedenborgians say. The wrong is indifferent to him until the fear of detection and punishment steals in upon him. Even then he is not sorry for his misdeed, as I have said before; he is only anxious to escape its conse- quences.
It seems probable that when this fear makes itself felt he is near to waking ; and probably when we dream, as we often do, t...hat the thing is only a dream, and hope for rescue from it by waking, we are always just about to wake.
This double effect is very strange, but still more strange is the effect which we are privy to in the minds of others when they not merely say things to us which are wholly unexpected, but think things that we know they are think- ing, and that they do not express in words. A great many years ago, when I was young, I dreamed that my father, who was in another town, came into the room where I was really lying asleep and stood by my bed.
