What reading level is The Writings of James Russell Lowell .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there is no controlling reason in the piece. Nothing happens because it must, but because the author wills it so. The con- ception of life is purely arbitrary, and as far from nature as that of an imaginative child. It is curi- ous, however, that here, too, Marlowe should have pointed the way to Shakespeare. But there is no Digitized by Qoo^^ 48 THE OLD ENGLISH DRAMATISTS resemblanoe between the Jew of Malta and the Jew of Venice, except that both have daughters whom they love. Nor is the a...nalogy close even here. The love which Barabas professes for his child fails to hmnanize him to ns, because it does not prevent him from making her the abhorrent instrument of his wanton malice in the death of her lover, and because we cannot believe him capable of loving anything but gold and vengeance. There is always something extravagant in the imaginar tion of Marlowe, but here it is the extravagance of absurdity. Grenerally he gives us an impression of power, of vastness, though it be iJie vastness of chaos, where elemental forces hurtle bUndly one against the other.
