What reading level is The Pic-Nic Papers 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ij would be absurd to do so. The public have quite altered these matters since the days of Dryden. Their direct interference has placed upon a basis entirely different the whole question of literature and literary pursuits. A writer of any merit is now as little dependant on the gene- rosity of a publisher, as on the more degrading charity of a patron. At the same time, I am far from supposing that even if this were not so, such examples as Mr. Jacob Tonson's would be at all generally followed.... Reasons for imagining the direct reverse exist in abundance. But so 84 JOHN DRYDEN AND JACOB TONSON.
many absurd things had been said of the Ton- sons, especially of this Jacob, and of the patron^ age experienced at his hands by literature and learned men^ that I thought it worth while to look into the matter a little more closely, and took the case of Dryden as including innumera- ble others of infinitely greater hardship. In ex- tenuation of the conduct to Dryden, considera- tions taken from the habits of the time will no doubt suggest themselves ; in varying number to various readers.
