What reading level is The Spirit of Modern Criticism; An Essay On Judicial Pragmatism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Pocock is right that " vers libre " is not really a new thing. After it had been buried in the grave of the American Whitman, it was resuscitated as an apt form for the headlines of American newspapers and to advertise patent medicines. I for one cannot agree that if you alter the cadence of such vers libres as the New Euclid's or E. V. Lucas's that " the effect is gone." It seems to me that you could alter them indefinitely and still produce the same irritating effect, and that in short th...e only novelty in them does not concern verse but punctuation. All prose could be printed in this way, i.e. making each pause in reading correspond with the end of a line, but such printing, besides being too expensive except for wealthy advertisers, would be intolerably annoying save, perhaps, for rhetoric, which, forming, as it does, the borderland between prose and poetry, uses the language of reason to appeal to our emo- tions.
"Free" verse, however, is dying because no one reads it except the " vers-libristes " themselves, and then chiefly their own.
