What reading level is The Victorian Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sea is pleasant enough as a daily companion, but it has a bitter and brackish quality, filling the streets with merchants and shopkeepers, and begetting in the souls of men un- certain and dishonest ways, making the State unfaithful and unfriendly to her own children and to other nations. ' Like Plato, Ruskin would fain have returned to a much simpler social structure, when each country, and even to a great extent each village, was sufficient to itself. He did not show how such a return is ...possible without blowing up the great towns and their inhabitants ; but he quite seriously regarded the Industrial Revolution as a gigantic blunder, and believed that England would never be healthy or happy until what his contemporaries called pro- gress had been somehow swept away with all its works. How this was to be done he hardly considered. Like a true Platonist, [22] he set before his countrymen, in glowing language, the beauty of the eternal Ideas or absolute Values, pleaded that there was no necessary connection between equality of production and equality of remunera- tion, and instituted various experiments, not all unsuccessful, in restoring the old handicrafts and the temper which in- spired them.
