What reading level is The Waverley Novels An Appreciation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Romance was suffer- ing the sceptre of the realm of fiction and history to slip from her grasp, and there seemed no force sufficient to bid her awake and claim her ancient crown.
But there came one who raised the bowed head and nerved the sceptreless right hand and estab- lished Romance upon a more high and glorious throne. And he who enthroned again the Old Romance was Walter Scott.
The changes which Scott effected were so import- ant that the results were similar in extent to those which Marl...owe and his contemporaries produced in the Elizabethan drama. With the instinct of genius he avoided the faults of his predecessors. The thin, barren imagining; of a writer of the Clara Reeve stamp could never have been con- genial to a rich, exuberant spirit like his. We know, too, that he consciously set himself to avoid the pit-fall of the antiquary. There are differences of opinion upon the measure of his success, and here and there are pages over which Jonathan Oldbuck may have guided the pen.
