What reading level is The Prose Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
strong marks of genius; in the last they are parti- cularly predominant. But from the coarseness of the narratiTe,and the vice and vulgarity of the actors, the reader feels as a well-principled young man may- do, when seduced by some entertaining and dissolute libertine into scenes oi debauchery, that, though he may be amused, he must be not a little ashamed of that which furnishes the entertainment. So that, though we could select from these picaresque ro- mances a good deal that is not a litt...le amusing, we let them pass by, as we would persons, howsoever otherwise interesting, who may not be in character and manners entirely fit for good society.
A third species of composition, to which the author's active and vigorous genius was peculiarly adapted, was the account of great national convul- sions, whether by war, or by the pestilence, or the tempest. These were tales which are sure, when even moderately well told, to arrest the attention, and which, narrated with that impression of reality which De Foe knew so well how to convey, make the hair bristle and the skin creep.
