What reading level is The Poets: Geoffrey Chaucer to Alfred Tennyson, 1340-1892: Impressions 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sonnet was a much more natural vehicle for the play of his imagination; and he needed no excuses there. It is no point of honour of a sonnet to be popular; and his sonnets certainly are not. A sonnet- writer commonly does not write under a sudden impulse.
He does not sing because he must. Deliberately, almost in cold blood, he sits down to his lace- work. His produc- tions are addressed to a limited circle ; often in appearance, though less often in fact, to an individual ; seldom, if ever,... to the public. Some spiritual force, doubtless, though not operating directly, has worked upon him to versify after this kind. For it, necessarily, inspiration is wanted no less than art. Imperative as are the laws of the sonnet, it needs, in order to be tolerable, and perhaps more urgently than other departments of poetry, real poetic fire. Nothing is more odiously dreary than a sonnet perfect in form which is not a poem in spirit. The glory of Bossetti's sonnets is that all have the glow of feeling in them, and that, in several, it is the essence.
