What reading level is The Portraiture of Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On receiving a photograph of it from a friend in Philadelphia I was at once struck with its feebleness and untruth. It suggested to me a stern philosophic student, and certainly not a man of acute observation, ready wit and hilarious temperament. Its faults are so admirably summed up by a writer in Lippincotf s Magazine that I offer no apology for making the following extract from his article. Mr. William R. O'Donovan writes : The ideal in art, simply stated, means the portrayal of certain thin...gs in nature, giving due prominence to the characteristics in the order of tlieir importance. Applying this proposition to Sculpture, a portrait- statue of Shakespeare should be a just expression of his individuality, based upon such portraits of him as exist. # # # Beginning with the head of the statue, the first thing that strikes one is the facial angle, which instead of approximating to the perpendicular line which distinguishes the highest Caucasian type, slopes backward, giving the angle of the lower races.
