What reading level is Universities Ancient And Modern Read Before the Birkenhead Literary And Scient book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even the greatest men of the time were caught by this narrow bigoted spirit. Thus St. Jerome, one of the most learned of his time, condemned the study of the classics except for pious uses, and rejoiced over the growing neglect of Plato and Aristotle. There is the tale of his supposed vision in which he dreamt that he was dead and being dragged before the tribunal of the Judge of all men. Falling on his face to hide himself from the brightness of the vision he heard an awful voice demanding " W...ho art thou. " On his answering I?
" A Christian " he heard with trembling the terrible reply " It is false ; thou art no Christian ; thou art a Ciceronian ; where the treasure is, there is the heart also. " From that hour, we are told, he renounced the study of the ancient classics.
Similarly, St. Augustine admits, and regrets, his early fondness for Virgil, lamenting the tears that he had shed over the death of Dido and recalling with penitence his boyish delight in the story of the wooden horse and the burning of Troy.
