What reading level is Venetia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps, when one comes to think of it, any lad who arrives in London with his customary twopence, is richer than he who has nothing but a manuscript, because with twopence you can buy things, whereas with a whole satchelful of poems you can buy nothing — nothing at all. Will a butcher cut you off a pound of Steak, even from the tougher part of the animal, in return for a ballade^ even a bailad of " Dadoes Sage and Green," printed on aesthetic paper ? Twopence, it is true, will not go far in st...eak, but think of the great lump of pudding it will buy ! A self-made man, indeed, is he who rises in the World and makes his way out of nothing at all but a bündle of poems.
Of course. Allen began in the way common among young poets, that is to say he sent his verses to the publisher. When the first House refused them he feit a little sorry for the House — they were throwing away their chances ; when the second sent them back he was hurt ; at the third refusal, he was indig- nant ; at the fourth, he feit grieved for the world which was pining for good poetry and being kept out of it ; at the fifth a kind of dismay seized him.
