What reading level is The Progress of Poesy An Inaugural Lecture Delivered in the Sheldonian Theatre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The courses of lectures of this period do indeed show, in such titles as De Poeticae Vi Medica and De Rei Poeticae Idea, a continuous tendency to follow the expansion which had taken place in poetry itself. But not until, now nearly fifty years ago, Matthew Arnold broke through that obsolete tradition once for all, could the lecturer on poetry give his subject an adequate and an actual treatment : and it is from 1857, in a sense, that the real history of the Chair begins. Since then its provinc...e, as generally understood, has been, not to discuss poetry as a scholastic or grammatical art, nor to set forth the result of search among the documents which bear upon its history, but rather to show it in one i6 THE PROGRESS OF POESY or other of its varied aspects as a function of life. To Trapp (if I may once more for a moment return to him) poetry was one of the arts in what almost might be called the mechanical sense of the word. His inaugural lecture lays down as an axiom, the admitted truth of which explains his presence there at all, that it is an art which, like grammar or rhetoric, can be, and ought to be, taught — institutionem et admittere et mereri.
