What reading level is Vision Vesture a Study of William Blake in Modern Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rationalism, Utilitarianism, and Altruism were the positive Trinity that were to take the place of the Christian mystical Trinity. But while the Christian dogmas were being quietly shelved, the Christian morals were maintained, after a little trimming, and were to be put entirely at the service of one's neighbour. We have already seen how altruism was a stage to Ibsen and Nietzsche with their assertion of the ego, and that Nietzsche's doctrine of duty to self brings us back to Blake whose Real ...Self was unveiled by the old Christian process of regeneration.
Whether we like or dislike the nineteenth-century spirit, its advent was inevitable. Idealists had been accustomed for so long a time to affirm the inner and deny the outer realities, that the affirmation of the positive values, even if the mystical values 158 VISION AND VESTURE vanished altogether, was forced out of man at a time when science was striding forward. Just as Goethe had said, Either rehgion or art, so they said. Either the Kingdom of Heaven or the earth, was the one reahty.
