What reading level is The Theory of the Theatre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Speaking of Ben Jonson and his contemporaries, he said: But were they now to write, when critics weigh Each line, and every word, throughout a play, None of them, no, not Jonson in his height, Could pass without allowing grains for weight.
* * * * * Wit's now arrived to a more high degree; Our native language more refined and free: Our ladies and our men now speak more wit In conversation than those poets writ.
This criticism was characteristic of a new era that was dawning in theEnglish dr...ama, during which a playwright could hope for no greater glorythan to be praised for the brilliancy of his dialogue or the smartness ofhis repartee.
At the present day, if you ask the average theatre-goer about the merits ofthe play that he has lately witnessed, he will praise it not for itsstately speeches nor its clever repartee, but because its presentation was"so natural. " He will tell you that _A Woman's Way_ gave an apt andadmirable reproduction of contemporary manners in New York; he will mentionthe make of the automobile that went chug-chugging off the stage at thesecond curtain-fall of _Man and Superman_, or he will assure you that_Lincoln_ made him feel the very presence of the martyred President hisfather actually saw.
