What reading level is The Sonnet in England Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The main supports of the undertaking were undoubtedly three members of a richly-endowed family Dante Gabriel, William Michael, and Christina Rossetti. To the first, as has already been said, the original idea of The Germ was almost certainly due; the second acted as its editor throughout; and the third added much to its value by contributing, under the pen-name of Ellen Alleyne, a number of tenderly beautiful poems, in which old chords of emotion were struck in such a way as to make them seem n...ew. In the four numbers there are fifty-one contribu- tions, and of these twenty-three are from the pens of the two brothers and the sister; seven being by D. G. Rossetti, nine by Mr W. M. Rossetti, and seven by Miss Rossetti, a series of six ( Sonnets for Pictures ' by the first-named being counted not as six but as one. By far the greater number of the twenty-three Rossetti contributions are poems, a fact which betokens a keener instinct for creative than for controversial activity. Indeed, the magazine differs totally and very pleasantly from the typi- cal sectarian organ which is, as a rule, too 70 A PRE-RAPHAELITE MAGAZINE polemical for endurance by non-polemical people in addressing itself mainly to those who were already more or less sympathetic, and addressing even them, not in logical hortative fashion, but allusively through images of the imagination rather than mere conceptions of the intellect.
