What reading level is The Renaissance of the Greek Ideal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This " figure of eight " was formed by the alternating of the feet in walking, both by human beings and animals. The experiments were most interesting, but seem to have been made in connection with unconscious and spontaneous movement only, so that in making a distinction between my own and theirs, I would point out that the designs formed by the exercises already explained represent consciously-reasoned movement subject to law, as opposed to unconscious and spontaneous movements of habit. This... does not imply that unconscious spontaneous movements may not also be governed by law. As a rule, the more unconscious and spontaneous a movement is, the more graceful it becomes, and the graceful, beautiful MATHEMATICS AND HUMAN MOVEMENT thing is the thing that is right and true. But modern conditions make almost impossible the free expression of the law which governs the unconsciously beautiful thing. It is true that Nature reasserts herself the moment she is allowed her liberty, but it is rare that any but primitive races show any of the unconscious beauty of movement, and as soon as these races come in touch with civilisation, the fetters of a misguided progress rob them of all their dignified bearing and elasticity of tread.
