What reading level is The Wild Irishman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a negative feature truly, but an excellent one. Irishmen do not seem capable of that last infirmity of the doting mind — the pun.
To play effectively upon words is, of course, an art in itself, and kept within bounds it is an amusing art ; but the man who drops out of 138 MORE WIT AND HUMOUR art into sheer mechanism, which is what has happened to the average punster, cannot be considered worthy of the respect of his fellows. The Irish, as I have said, do not appear to have descended to th...ese depths.
They may be a worn-out, a weary, a dull- wittedj an exhausted, and a brooding and melancholy people, but they are not punsters.
Herein they have a distinct advantage over the English, among whom the pun appears to obtain wider and wider currency. It is a lamentable fact that there are judges on the English Bench who never let slip an opportunity for punning. It makes juries and the gallery guiFaw, and it gets a judge the reputation of being a wit and the possessor of those minor literary graces which are supposed to be included in the judicial prerogative.
